center of this steel plug so let’s go

center of this steel plug so let’s go ahead and do that next okay so now we’ve

ahead and do that next okay so now we’ve

ahead and do that next okay so now we’ve got our finished valve assembly as well

got our finished valve assembly as well

got our finished valve assembly as well as a 1/2 inch hole drilled into our

as a 1/2 inch hole drilled into our

as a 1/2 inch hole drilled into our steel cap the only thing we need to do

steel cap the only thing we need to do

steel cap the only thing we need to do now is bring the two together now to

and go pump it up let’s test this thing

and go pump it up let’s test this thing out now at this point you can pump up

out now at this point you can pump up

out now at this point you can pump up these bottles with a bike pump and

these bottles with a bike pump and

these bottles with a bike pump and they’ll be ready to go but just to take

they’ll be ready to go but just to take

they’ll be ready to go but just to take things to the next level I created some

things to the next level I created some

things to the next level I created some of these templates on Photoshop that you

of these templates on Photoshop that you

of these templates on Photoshop that you can have for free simply cut them out

can have for free simply cut them out

can have for free simply cut them out and wrap them around the bottle and you

and wrap them around the bottle and you

and wrap them around the bottle and you can see it gives it a whole different

can see it gives it a whole different

can see it gives it a whole different look with a professional-looking

look with a professional-looking

look with a professional-looking built-in target how cool is that simply

built-in target how cool is that simply

built-in target how cool is that simply take something like a bike pump and

take something like a bike pump and

take something like a bike pump and attach it to the valve on the bottom and

attach it to the valve on the bottom and

attach it to the valve on the bottom and we’re going to pump this up to about 50

we’re going to pump this up to about 50

we’re going to pump this up to about 50 to 60 psi but you don’t want to go a lot

to 60 psi but you don’t want to go a lot

to 60 psi but you don’t want to go a lot higher than that not with a water bottle

higher than that not with a water bottle

higher than that not with a water bottle you can see right between about 55 and

you can see right between about 55 and

you can see right between about 55 and 60 psi the bottle starts crackling and

60 psi the bottle starts crackling and

60 psi the bottle starts crackling and it starts changing shape as well

it starts changing shape as well

it starts changing shape as well you don’t really want to get it too much

you don’t really want to get it too much

you don’t really want to get it too much more full than that this one’s ready to

more full than that this one’s ready to

more full than that this one’s ready to blow up what would you compare that to

blow up what would you compare that to

blow up what would you compare that to the gun shot down louder than the
