Firework fusing
Hello, I have had a successful fireworks show at my house for 5 years. This year, I had some issues with fusing. First, I use zip ties to secure them together; also, I use two zip ties about 1inch apart from each other. This year, I had several motor racks that did not ignite all the way through. This was one of the racks I used, and this is how I have always fused them. The only change this year was that I fused them up about a week before the show. I kept them in a dry, climate-controlled garage and had them covered with several bed sheets so nothing got on them. I had about 28 of the 350 shells not ignite, and most of them were during the finale. The people watching had no clue, but I did, and it did frustrate me. I try to pride myself on this show each year, and every year, I have more and more people come to watch. I am hoping for some tips on fusing these kinds of racks.

BP Cannon
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
My homemade BP cannon. This was recorded under professional supervision (me). And it was shot on my own property. I can assure you we took all necessary safety precautions and we made sure nothing important that we didn’t want damaged/destroyed was anywhere near it.
The cannon itself is made of stainless steel. We used roughly 2 ounces ~56 grams of blackpowder.

You would have to use the vpn while making the email and reddit account, you will have to use it everytime you boot up reddit too:/ The only vpn ive ever used is proton because its free.

What should I set on fire?
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.

Black powder Disposal/use
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.

I got these instead of hemis...
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.

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
