Do any Tiger fans have experience making their own


Jul 1, 2020, 5:45 PM

fireworks? with the public shows being cancelled this year, most of the fire works stands have sold their inventory and I looked all over Amazon with no success.

We would like to make some smaller bottle rockets and roman candles for the kids to play with, but I was wanting to make something really big the entire neighborhood can see.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

People call us crazy, but we always hand out

mini molotov cocktails for the kids to play with. The younger ones usually have trouble with the full sized 16.9 oz bottles since they're bigger and heavier, so we always get some of the mini 8oz glass bottles and they're able to toss them around just fine.

We don't let them throw them at each other, just the hay bales we have layout out back. The law got called on time and I was able to convince them that the hay bales are at least 6 feet away from the tree line so it's fine.

Anyway, with the smaller bottles, there's a lot less spillage and burned kids, lol. We have a good time with it and are always as safe as possible about it.

Avoid trinitrotoluene at all cost!

I need that and about 20 of those model rocket engines. I think the rest I can fashion out of craft paper and paraffin wax.

Go to dollar general get a bottle of “The Works” toilet cleaner. Make a couple of dime sized balls of aluminum foil. Put them in a plastic soda bottle and pour about half cup of cleaner in it. Cap it tight and stand back. Way back. KABOOM! ??
Fair warning this creates a chemical reaction that releases pure hydrogen gas. So yes you are making a mini hydrogen pressure bomb. But it’s pretty cool.

My son's made some and it was a lot of work and not too

cheap when you throw in all his time.

I'd suggest going a smarter route and find some military hardware that "fell off a truck."

Much better bang for your buck.

I swear I thought this was going to be about Moonshine....

Sorry for not giving you more credit.

I'd have given him more credit for the moonshine!
