Re: 1390's Robot T-shirt Shooter

I love your creativity with the "rings" of PVC as a pressure tank.

We found that if you only open the valve for .25 seconds, you will have plenty of air flow to shoot the shirt with out draining the tank and having to re-pressurize it from 0 psi. Now, our tank is 450 cu. in, so you may not be pressurizing such a large volume.

BTW, is that talcum powder that gives the "smoke" effect? We put a handful of glitter in with our shirts for a sparkle trail, but not smoke. I like the smoke
