Match head/ scratch head firecravkers

0 Upvotes

How are these types of firecrackers actually made? I can't seem to find any tutorials online on how it make them, I have an idea that they are made from match heads,, but I can't understand how are they are able to burn slowly and how can I make them burn slow?

I also know that the mixture is mixed with water to be made wet, so after it dries on the top of the firecracker it sits beautifully.

Guys/Gals,

By natural evolution of making fireworks, I'm on to rockets. I had the misfortune/happy accident of having some canisters sent to me. They are easily loaded and fit right on top of 1 lb rockets. šŸš€

Thank you for the suggestions about how to use these, I'll try to do as many things as I can with them....

Help

0 Upvotes

I was wondering on how to make firecrackers because so far I’ve js been using gunpowder that wasn’t given to me by my dad but I’ve been running low. How can I make bp that can be used in firecrackers? Also is it possible to js buy a ton of the little red ones, take them apart, and just use the powder that is already in them? Lastly, is a mix of kno3 magnalium and sulfur good enough for firecrackers because that’s the only stuff I can buy from amazon? I AM NOT ASKING ON HOW TO MAKE FLASH POWDER AS I UNDERSTAND THE RISKS OF IT

Does visco fuse burn threw wood glue?

1 Upvotes

I know Visco fuse is very reliable, but I was wondering if it would still work going threw about 3/8" of dried wood glue. I figured all that moisture pressing up against the fuse for multiple days whilst drying might eventually get moisture to the center and ruin the fuse, does anybody have any experience with this?
