So I had about 40 sparklers...Got them all togethor..Made one stick out further than the rest. Taped them up real tight, but didn't have enough tape to tape them up more than once..So one thing of electrical tape all the way around..Lit up the middle one, stepped back...ANd proceeded to watch a nice, bright red flame pop up and last about 3 seconds. I heard a small "whoosh" is all.

Coolest thing was all the sparklers glowing red for like 3 minutes..They were like melted togethor.

Wasn't worth my $4 though.

Didn't have enough tape on top and bottom. They need to be in a CASING of tape

If you take morning glorys (the 24'-36' sparklers) and stick em in a jar, they will melt the jar...sorry im easily amused.

Anyways...Im not sure what the problem is. I mean generally you need alot of tape....but it sounds as though they didnt burn to well..

wrap about 40 sparklers with tape AROUND about 10 M500's and THAT will be a good bomb. watch out for the shrapnel though lol. RIP mr. fluffy

we did 20 bucks of sparklers last 4th o july.

thing was 10 inches thick... with 1 higher to ignite it.. we put it inside an old photocopy machine.

all that was left was molten metal and plastic burning
