OneEyeCharlie Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Nice work Dean. Between the photos and diagrams, even a schmuck like me could grasp the overall concept and procedures. I'm not feeling quite this ambitious yet, but I have the document saved to my laptop in the Future Pyro Projects directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinneticEnergy Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Can you post this tut elsewhere? Somewhere with a url extension other than .doc? My parental control software prevents the extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSidewinder Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Parental Control prevents the .DOC extension?!?! What, are they afraid you're going to READ porn? That's the first time I've ever heard of that... If someone doesn't get this zipped up for you in a day or so, I'll put it somewhere you can retrieve it. Bump the thread if necessary.

Gunzway Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Parental controls on Microsoft word?My god. I have never heard of that. But on the main note. Great Tutorial. Very informative and detailed!Good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinneticEnergy Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Dean: The .zip file worked, thanks for re-posting that for me. I know, the parental control is a little stiff, but I guess it's for my own good. I'm eagerly awaiting the download's completion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylar Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Parental control? Does this means your parents know more about computers then you do? A truly scary thought ... Download a knoppix linux, burn it to a cd and insert when you are at the computer. Byebye whatever control ... Brilliant tutorial btw, nice work!

oskarchem Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I would of happily uploaded the file in .pdf, but my computer somehow dosen't want to convert the file. Any way, here is a link where you can convert Evry thing into Evry thing, and the best part is that you don't have to download a prog on to you computer, just Upload, Wait, Download. http://media-convert.com/convert/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylar Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Openoffice converted it to pdf no problem. http://www.pyrobin.com/files/100%20shot%20...%20tutorial.pdf BTW; however excellent this tutorial may be ... 37,9 MB ?!?The pdf file is just as clear and is 1,23 MB!

tentacles Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Can you post this tut elsewhere? Somewhere with a url extension other than .doc? My parental control software prevents the extension. Software that controls your parents?! On another note..I know, the parental control is a little stiff, but I guess it's for my own good. I've never heard of censorship being good for anyone.

TheSidewinder Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Mac guy...Richtee: It's available for PC, 4 flavors of Linux, Mac OSX Intel and Mac OSX PPC You really ought to check it out if your Mac is one of the above. I'll hazard a guess and say you're Mac OSX Intel, so here's the direct download link: http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?prod...S&version=2.4.0 Enjoy!

Ventsi Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I am just wondering, short of using Visco, is there any SURE way to ensure that the fire will not skip if using BM? I'm looking for a slower effect, and the though of visco not taking fire comes to mind. 1-2sec delay between shots. I have some excellent BM that I bought and would like to use for this, but if it quickmatches through the cake it would be pointless.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firetech Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Well it really all depends on how its contained. I don't know what atmosphere quickmatch reaches inside the pipe but I'm sure even a few more atmospheres than 1 would drastically accelerate the burning. If there are multiple tubes together in a box form you're going to have a lot of containment for the fuses. If it's just a long rack you should be fine.

Mumbles Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Welcome to the wonderful world of buckets. The only way to do like you suggest is to use spolette buckets in between each shot. You did use the work "ensure". There is however an alternative, using quickmatch of all things. Make up some quickmatch, and tie a very tight knot around it with some string. This should delay the stuff around half a second. A couple of knots should do as you describe. This however is not fool proof, and will inevitably skip or fail some time. If you cut visco on an angle and dip it in NC then some granular BP, you should be fine as far as it taking fire. I've often wondered if you could dip or paint blackmatch with that rubberized tool grip compound. Then again at this point, it would be easier to just use visco. I thought I had this problem all figured out back in my younger days. I had a master plan. I fused up a 25 shot fan cake with blackmatch, and put the fan racks in a box, and filled the whole thing in with clay. You'd think that with that much fire blocking around that the fire couldn't jump. If you think that, you would be wrong. It was the most impressive 25 comet fan mine I've ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventsi Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I was actually thinking of fire proofing the outside of some BM as you describe, some rubbery compound that would stop it from skipping. The spollete bucket/ tying quickmatch method you described. isn't that similar to a pyro clock type device? I think I might just go with some Visco Fuse after all, it should be too much work I hope. I'll just dip it in some water/wheat paste/BP slurry or just some water based BP slurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordohigh Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 If you wet the fuse end with some NCL and then dip in meal it will catch fire instantly. I don't think wheat paste would be good to use for a prime binder but I've never tried it so I might be wrong. PVC glue, (clear), works well to, I've actually used these both for priming stars and works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twotails Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I use a liquid electrical tape(or the spray kind) it works well with 2-three coats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
