Re: T-Shirt Cannon

How are you introducing the air to the shirt? You need a fast acting valve in order to ensure the full psi is applied to the shirt in a small time frame rather than slowly over time. Look up designs online of potato guns (or other t-shirt cannons) and see what kind of valves they use. Sprinkler valves are very popular.
