pudidotdk Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Nope, doesn't count. The rules includes:## No purchased items, all items must be homemade. Fuse, cardboard products, shell casings, and black powder are exempt from this rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSidewinder Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Correct. Unless you made the sparklers yourself from raw chems, it doesn't count. But you made a decent start back then. The results were acceptable, since it didn't simply blow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPinthemorning Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) I loved the puffs of sparks! I wish I knew how to make that from scratch. By the way, you double posted.

Yankie Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 to be honest those puffs were just a fluke, what happened was the bolt it was spinning on tightened so it stopped, then i think it went in puffs beacause there was slag in the nozzle so it built up pressure then blew it out then repeat lol, just my theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSidewinder Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Probably a good theory, actually. And if it had slagged up a bit more, the results would have been even more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
