This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]458687[/split]
To my knowledge, polyvinyl alcohol is not acetone soluble. I had an idea about reducing the boiling point of the solution by dissolving isopropyl alcohol into water before dissolving polyvinyl alcohol. Water naturally bonds to it, and it's boiling point is like 12 degrees difference. It would lower it enough for a little heat to go a long way.
I found an issue that I would like to address to the forum at large though. Haas everyone heard of the liedenfrost effect? It's where if a liquid reaches twice it's boiling point, it would actually not evaporate because the bottom of the liquid evaporates so fast that it creates a gas barrier between the fluid and the gas. What that means for us is, we actually need the heating element to not exceed the liedenfrost temperature. So it has to be about 101 degrees celcius to about 185 degrees celcius. No more, no less. Does anyone know how to change the heat in a heating element?

I think we could learn a lot from this or even take parts from this. It has a spinneret and a pump that shoots 20 FEET. Tell me what you think t:
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/282A8DTB8G2H/ref=cm_sw_r_ip_wl_o_xxlaub0N86PK7
It's got all things other than a fluid tank, switch, and basic copper wire that you'd need for a pump action shooter.
And this is mine so far.

That is it.
