Do I need PVC primer, and is this stuff okay for a combustion potato gun?
I'm building a potato gun, and I have (to attach the pipes together), some 'Christy's Red Hot Blue Glue PVC Pipe Cement'.
I'm going to be using this to attach all parts of both a pneumatic and combustion potato gun together. I looked at a different tutorial, and he used a primer (also for the schrader valve) for his tutorial. So, i'm wondering if i need to use a primer as well, or if what i have is good.
As well, the label says that it is EXTREMELY flammable, and that vapors may cause flash fires, as well as having about 3 paragraphs worth of safety precautions. Because i'm going to be using this stuff for a combustion potato gun, I was wondering if I could use it, or if it would be dangerous to use it.
Thanks.

Yes, u need primer to clean the Area. This stuff is flammable but fine for a Potatoe gun. As long as you let it dry for 48hr & blow out any possible fumes. Bottom line is that any gun like apparatus is dangerous, but this is a common practice. If you are concerned you could always use an electronic ignitor with extra line.

You can skip on the primer if you use sandpaper on all of the fittings and where they will be bonded to on the pipe. What you have is good to use. Be sure the fumes are completely gone before using the potato gun.
