mormanman Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) I have made a few small cakes and to add the fountain, simply attach the fountain to the side of the comet tube. Glue a SHORT pc of visco into a hole in the side of the comet tube (at the bottom) and then QM into the top of the fountain. As for the other cake, no idea why it failed, probably a gas leak. Commercial cakes are fused through the sides, as are the cakes I've made. I don't even glue my fuses in and have no problems. I'm not sure how you oriented your fuses, but rather than in a straight line where gases could shoot into the next tube, put both (in and out) fuse holes on the same side of the tube so that they will make small 1/2 loops as they go along between each tube. Hope that helps, (and makes sense)My fuse went through one side and out the other. I started at a corner then went from that side through three tubes, turned 90 deg. then so on. Lit and boom.Let me see if I can find the YouTube video of the Commercial cake makers making one like this. Edited August 23, 2008 by mormanman
Swede Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 This is the best chemical to plastic compatibility chart I have ever seen. Ever wonder if your PET container will melt under the influence of aqueous bromine? Or can a PVC pipe withstand O3 gas? This chart has just about everything... http://www.plasticdistributioninc.com/resistance.htm Roll your mouse over the plastic's acronym to see what the abbreviation stands for. I found this researching whether "Kynar" components will withstand aqueous chlorine and hypochlorite.
mormanman Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Just got in a wreck. We chased them down though. It was a hit and run. A car and truck were racing and the car went slam into our car and my mom was like,"Oh hell nah!" and she floored it.
tentacles Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Fuckin' right, mormanman... Don't let those shits get away with that. I lost my first car to getting hit and run. Some crazy bitch turned left into me when I was going through an intersection - and I had the right of way. Would have been hurt if it hadn't been icy/snowy and the car just spun. The car behind us chased her and then wrote down the wrong frigging license plate number. What a crock, eh? My rear tire was bust so I couldn't have run her down.
jacob Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Ha ha, mormanman that's awesome, wish I could've seen the look on the drivers face when you caught him, it's great to see justice happen.
Swede Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Oh man, bad memories. I was in Del Rio, Texas, a border town, years ago. I was in my BRAND NEW RX-7. In front of me was some piece of junk, rusty old camaro, that had been jacked up in the rear about two feet with big leaf springs. At a stoplight, this guy thinks he's too far into the intersection, throws it in reverse, and backs up aggressively. I watched those rusty leaf springs climb up the hood of my car. The worst part was this... The cops come. He is a Mexican national "shopping" in the U.S. No insurance, no nothing. He keeps saying "Let me go back to Ciudad Acuna, my brother has money. I will bring money back." Yeah, rriiigghht. I ask the cop, what can I do? He syas "Nothing. I can't hold him. You'll never see him again." I was out $750 deductible.
mormanman Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) What was so funny to me was that it was my mom. I never would picture my mom being in a car chase. Let me see if I can find the camera and I'll get a picture or two of our car. http://i38.tinypic.com/206jtkw.jpg http://i33.tinypic.com/2ugoxw8.jpg http://i33.tinypic.com/2rw10n4.jpg http://i37.tinypic.com/np5mbk.jpg And they didn't even hit this side. LOLhttp://i33.tinypic.com/bhidw.jpg On another note this is the skateboard I painted and talked about in Happiness.http://i38.tinypic.com/29p225g.jpg Edited August 25, 2008 by mormanman
Richtee Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 On another note this is the skateboard I painted and talked about in Happiness. OK I dunno art OR skateboards, but the car looks in better shape. Unless there's some deep meaning in that board paint scheme I'm too ignorant to understand. And stay the hell outta the road with those things eh? Goes for you militant bike riders too. Geez i'm old and grumpy. :{)
mormanman Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 No, its nothing special just something of another hobby I have. Painting skateboards and trying to sell them. What happened to Senz? Or are we not going to talk about it. I read he like posted porn or something?
Gunzway Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I think that what he did is just between the moderators and admins. There's no real point in discussing it, it will just lead into more "mess". Plus it can't really be explained much more than what he did. (What you said). So let's just all leave it like that .
Mumbles Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 About the only way to explain it would be to show you the thread. Seeing as how it seemed you were getting uncomfortable at one point with the discussion of "pyro porn", it's probably best we leave it the way it is. Don't worry Richtee, I share your similar grumpy old man views on bikers too. All I have to say is to get equal rights, they have to take equal responsibilities. This means obeying traffic signs.
mormanman Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 About the only way to explain it would be to show you the thread. Seeing as how it seemed you were getting uncomfortable at one point with the discussion of "pyro porn", it's probably best we leave it the way it is.Oh, OK. I see, it was bad. And the pyro porn thing was just weird. Like really wow. Just the thought is weird not even funny just weird.
oskarchem Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Oh, OK. I see, it was bad. And the pyro porn thing was just weird. Like really wow. Just the thought is weird not even funny just weird. If you think about it, when inserting time fuse into a shell.. . God I should stop drinking (It's my cousins b-day). Anyway, I finished overclocking my CPU, didn't go the whole way yet, got it from 2.0GHz to 3.0GHz. And I fired a mine with some lancaster chlorate silver stars, they were not pumped, but cut, and they gave great performance. Finished a 4" shell with shimizu firefly stars.
mormanman Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 If you think about it, when inserting time fuse into a shell.. .Oskar, you need to calm down sir. LOL.
MilkyJoe Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 If you think about it, when inserting time fuse into a shell.. /quote] oh yeah I know what you mean! I always find I need a cold shower after a shell building session...
FrankRizzo Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 PM, this is a *big boy* (and girl) forum. We do not flame people here, or even talk about our flaming of people elsewhere. Take your childish bullshit elsewhere, and come back when you decide you want to talk about something relevant to this forum's purpose. I will not see APC degenerate to the level of TOTSE or similar tween forums.
Mumbles Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I completely agree. The moderation team and myself have worked hard to get and keep those kind of people out of here. Any flaming and stupidity is dealt with accordingly. I suggest you take time to reflect and gain some maturity. It seems like you're primarily interested in making salutes, and being rather immature. If you feel this is a direction you wish to pursue, you can save me the trouble and leave.
PyroMedia Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Wait. im being told that i cannot flame someone on youtube that is making sparkler bombs and such. To be honest i dont see anything wrong with this. if you do, please point it out to me so i dont do it again. and this is the RANDOM thread this is a good place for something of this nature. i dont really see what your getting worked up about. Edited August 29, 2008 by PyroMedia
Mumbles Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 If you do it on youtube, nothing we can do about it. Keep it off here though. It just brings the forum down. The best thing you can do is to point them in the right direction.
PyroMedia Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Thats pretty much what i was attempting to do. i pmed him the link with the consequences page. Edited August 29, 2008 by PyroMedia
mormanman Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 LOL, soon everyone will know about the Consequences page lol.
oskarchem Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 LOL, soon everyone will know about the Consequences page lol. Isin't it best that all of the pyro's know what can happen?
Mumbles Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 That page has been around since I first got started in pyro. If you guys did more reading, you would have already known about it.
psyco_1322 Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 I think there needs to be a sparkler bomb consequences picture. Like taking a ematch'd sparkler bomb and surrounding it with some plywood or something or the like and taking pictures of what flying wires do. I really am sick of hearing about sparkler bombs, seems like one retard made one and then they just exploded in popularity. (no pun intended) It just pisses me off to here people talk about them, especially when its right beside you in a college chemistry class.
Swede Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Watch for a "Mother's against sparklers" campaign to start soon. "My little Billy was badly injured when the powder from 500 sparklers exploded in his pocket. It's not my fault, or Billy's fault, it's those evil sparklers, and the wicked people who make them!" Seriously, if idiots keep making sparkler bombs, sparklers will be outlawed. Truly the last over the counter pyro item you can buy in many states, gone.
