use propane, hairspray gums up your gun
in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08

That's not the point, and I'd like to see you meter a mini. I usually just use the cheapest I can find, which tends to be White Rain. I'm switching over to pneumatics most likely because ignition systems wear out over time and you only have a finite amount of fuel. Plus I just found out there's a Melvins by my house, 2.99 for a Sch80 1.5" Union!

I think I figured out the problem , I have 2 sparks in the chamber 1 in the front and 1 in the back. I think that is why it keep exploding. I just blow a nother cap up. I might try and metered a pill bottle.
