wildblue 7 #27 April 4, 2002 QuoteI used to prefer bug spray myself. I figure my kids'll do it too, I'll just make sure to tell them to always let up on the spray before the flame gets all the way back to the nozzle. Ha! More good bonfire games: spray bottle with K1 - see who can 'walk' the flame the furthest away from the fire.And if you ever want to stop traffic - pour some on your hands, then light it, and run out into the street screaming. (just make sure you put your hand out before it actually starts burning)There's a vacant sign that's hanging highBut at least you're not alone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lummy 4 #28 April 4, 2002 Ahhhhh.... Childhood memorys..WE used to get the little model boats too but we'd light em up then put them in the creek and let them float down. the river....As for the WD40, we were always worried about the flames getting back into the can and it blowing up...

lummy 4 #29 April 4, 2002 Another fun thing to do for cannon fire. A coke bottle and two firecrackers, you'd light one a little sooner than the other ,out the first one all the way in the obttle and the second one right on the lip of ti...baby's hungry and the money's all gone. the folks back home don't want to talk on the phone.

Its a miracle that 1) we're still a live with all our hands and toes and stuff and 2) we were never arrested.You know, I few weeks ago I figured out that canned air (like for dusting electronics) is flamable. Well the propellant is, just turn it upside down and light.For the best flame to buck ratio of stuff that kids can actually buy now (just about everything mentioned to play with so far is restricted for under 18 now days) is Aqua Net hairspray.

lippy 918 #33 April 4, 2002 Drano Crystals and little balls of tin foil together in a bottle..(glass or plastic, but I strongly reccommend plastic for the first attempt), add a bit of water. Start shaking, and as soon as the thing gets warm throw it with all ya got.KABOOOM!!!!Good times, good timesIt's not a real sport unless you can die from massive internal traumaLippy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slappie 9 #34 April 4, 2002 QuoteThat is where dad kept the tanks of oxygen and acetlyene he used for welding. Oh Justin you missed a beautiful moment in "Guy" stuff!! You take a hefty bag and fill it with acetlyene and a small amount of o2. Use a rag for a fuse and run like hell. We set one of these "bombs" off outside a metal building once blew the walls inwards 4 inches and broke windows 3 blocks away.. I couldn't hear for a few hours but man was it cool.

jfields 0 #36 April 4, 2002 Slappie, Slappie, Slappie.....Always wear ear plugs and goggles when you are blowing things up. It just just basic safety. Of course, that doesn't help if you light yourself on fire. Just curious... have you blown up a creeper for revenge? Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildblue 7 #43 April 4, 2002 being a geek, I have a can of air right here... according to the back:WARNING: VAPOR HARMFUL. CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE Contains 100% Tetrafluorothane. Do not puncture, incinerate, or store container at temperatures exceeding 120. Do not store can in enclosed vehicles, direct sunlight, or near other sources of heat. Chemical contact with flames or very hot surfaces can cause vapor decomposition and toxic gasessweetNow back to the clorine and anti-freeze bombs....There's a vacant sign that's hanging highBut at least you're not alone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #44 April 4, 2002 Wildblue,My canned air uses difluoroethane. Yours is tetra, so does that mean yours is like twice as potent or something?In addition to flame and heat warnings, mine mentions that direct contact with the product in its liquid form can cause severe frostbite. Cool! Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weid14 0 #45 April 4, 2002 toxic, combustable, flammable chemicals -- all in a days work for me! (well, before I was moved to Florida -- most stuff here is waterbased). We had auto-ignite chemicals, that would lite up when you walked on the dry powder residue. it also decomposed into gasseous HCl, not to metion the 10,000 pounds of hydrogen we keep on site to burn other stuff -- fun at 2000 F!!

AggieDave 6 #46 April 4, 2002 The reason why I found out it was flammable is because the can said that "the product is non-flammable" so I thought I would try to blow a candle out with it. The candle errupted in flames, so I had to repeat until I ran out of canned air..."Homer Simpson, smiling politely." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Myth???__________________________________________________Nope, while i havent had it done with WD-40, it has happened to me with hair spray. I was sort of amateurish when I was a kid, try throwing CO2 canisters into burning steel drums.You also know you are bored when you build model rockets, then try to launch them and hit your remote control airplane in flight, while we had some clse calls, we would just say screw it and pack the rockets with anything flammable and blow them up. We also had a lot of fun with model rocket engines and canisters filled with gas. Chris Ramirez New Mexico State University Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #49 April 4, 2002 I almost burned down my boss's house when I was about 17. We pulled up there to eat lunch and noticed that some wasps had built a nest on the roof covering the walkway to the garage. "I'll show them!!!" I flame them with WD-40 a little and then step on the ones still squirming. Go back in the house and forget all about it. Some time later I hearing a strange sound. It's a popping noise. Long story short.....there was a tiny hole between the plywood and the framing. Of course the wood inside there was EXTREMELY dry and flammable. Apparently enough of the flame got in there to start it burning and pretty soon we had a nice roaring fire. My boss was really mad. She just didn't want her husband to find out. So she told him it was an electrical fire. One catch.....He's a damn fire marshall!!!!!!!!!! I don't know if he ever figured it out. I certainly spent the next two weekends rebuilding the roof.....LMAO....."I'm a danger to myself and everyone around me!"-Clay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
