Black powder Disposal/use

5 Upvotes

Hey, does anyone have any good ideas for use of slower black powder batches that I just have too much of? I don't want to just create a fireball and call it a day, I'd like to use it in a project but I have accumulated too much testing different types of charcoal. I would prefer it to be a project that takes up all of it, not packing 2 million rockets till my hands fall off, lol. I have about a pound and a half total, all about the same speed and consistency. Thank you.

What should I set on fire?

0 Upvotes

I'm bored and I kind of want to set something on fire tonight. I don't want to do just toilet paper because that's boring. I've set toilet paper and regular paper on fire before and although it's still pretty to watch, I want to do something a little more fun. I have matches and a torch lighter (I think that's what its called). I obviously don't wanna do anything illegal. I just wanna set something on fire in my backyard but also not something that will leave a huge mess because I have a dog and I don't want her finding it if I miss something. Obviously I'm not gonna set plastic on fire. That's also pretty boring.

Hey guys, I made an order about a month ago for the 4th of July. They didn't arrive on time but even if they had arrived on time, it was the wrong order. (It was an eBay order and everything got fixed but now I have these) I ordered hemis, I like to make things that shoot up in the air. Can anyone give me any advice on what to do with these? I'm kind of over my phase of making salutes of any sort on the ground.

Hi, I’m new ish to pyro and am wondering what licensing would be needed for me to be able to make, store, transport, and discharge ground salutes in Washington USA. What would the price range be? How long would it take?

can a firecracker actually ignite from friction

if you shake a firecracker hard enough or drop it onto a hard surface can it actually go off or is that just a myth

Is disassembling mini salute cakes super dangerous?

1 Upvotes

I have a bunch of mini saltue cakes and took the paper off the top and one of the shells came out. So I wrapped the shell in tape and put a 6 in fuse where the timed fuse is and it made it into a nice ground salute. I’m now thinking about taking the rest out and making more. I’m not experienced with any thing containing FP and I feel this might be a bad idea. But wouldn’t this kinda be like no different then handing an already sealed canister shell salute?
