ddewees Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 What is he suggesting? That dag isn't being forthright regarding his accident? It's hard to comprehend.
MrB Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 What is he suggesting?Dunno. The only part that made any sense seams wrong to me. He claims Dagabu is "feeling sorry for him self" and from the posts Dagabu made here on the forum since the accident, thats just not the case.For the rest of the argument i'm just staying out of it. Dagabu and Mark clearly has history with one and other, that i / we i don't know of, and to start picking sides in some sort of pissing contest when you don't know whats behind it... Dagabu, love you like a brother. But if he buried a 8" mortar in your front yard, that should be a perfect place to grow some petunias. Or what ever that you don't want to let spread out over the yard.B!

The resulting flattened steel looks very much like the back of a person, with buttocks and all. I honestly dont know why he is mad, I assume its because have the gun he blew up???
gregh Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Man, I get on here to get away from listening to my kids fighting all day.... and now y'all start.
Arthur Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 The premise that QM burns because of lack of oxygen is ODD. QM is made with black powder so it has enough oxygen in the mixture to burn completely. The paper tube simply forces the burn flame to progress along the tube and make the flame front move faster than ordinary black match.
jaysgoh Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Did quick match still work when using slightly slower BP? I don't want waste my charcoal that can produce a good BP for other than lift and burst.
Maserface Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I believe it actually has to do with the temperature inside the paper match, Davis talks about it in "Chemistry of powder and explosives"- I dont have it in front of me or id look it up. Gohje, slower should be fine, 3 or 4 strands to be sure- test it and let us know!!
Mumbles Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Quickmatch still works if you use a somewhat slower blackmatch inside of it. However, blackmatch has more uses than just quickmatch, so it's generally advised to use hot BP in it. You could always have different batches for different uses though. The last I heard, you couldn't even make hot BP, so I'm not entirely sure why you're asking. 1
taiwanluthiers Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Another problem with tape is since the adhesive will still be active when stored, if you accidentally pinch the tape quick match, such as when folding them for storage, loading, etc. you will create the fire block that ruins timing. It can be dangerous because you might think it's a dud but it's not.
Livingston Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Ever since I've found out the Eastern or Western red Cedar charcoal makes for Hot BP my QM and BM works very well and the consistency of my process is awesome. That's the way to be from my understanding. If your going to make fireworks take your time it's not a race and you don't want anything to happen. So therefore if your going to make QM make it in a way where it's safe and effective. "Now let's make sum Sky Art" PS I love this Hobby!!!
