i dont really remember, just watch the video & try and find the piece that has the smaller part sticking out at a 45degree angle. it should say how big it is, then get that width of pvc, just a little, then get the matching end cap.

i made a spud gun but it dosent fire do u have any ideas why not

(has spark but not much) just a barbe lighter

It might be because your using too much hairspray or whatever you're using. Its happened to me before it has to have a right mixture of fuel (hairspray) and air. use less hairspray, and if that doesn't work, then it is your lighter. Get a new one, and make the screws an inch apart so the spark has a good arch. hope this helps

No, u buy it like that, at the hardware store, you can buy a BBQ ignighter by itself. and i taped it tightly to the handle, the wires are ran through the holes i drilled and held in by the screws & thats where the spark is, in between the screws

how do you attatch the lighter to the PVC and where did it come from, if you know what i mean, how did u get it out of the bbq lighter to be like that
