when we are children, several of us get quite a few warnings of the risks of playing with fire. And to make sure we paid attention to these risks some of us were often threatened with some type of penalty if caught. The most used scare tactic that I know of is the thought that you will "burn the house down". Or In my case my mom actually showed me a recorded news clip in which a kid actually burned his parent's house down. And since I enjoyed the house we were living in, I learned a valuable lesson from that news clip, and that was not to play with fire...By the house.In its place, me and many friends went out to the desert and experimented with a lot of the illegal fireworks that a friend got from his uncle. That's when I began learning about Pyrotechnics. In that desert we learned a lot about flammable things, and we learned the hard knocks way. We set everything on fire, checked to see what liquids were flammable and discovered new ways to blow things up, but that involved getting burned pretty often. But in my opinion, well worth it The 4th of July was my favorite holiday as it was during this time that I was able to openly display my fresh pyrotechnics talents. I would make all types of plans and schemes prior to the 4th of Julyso that it would always be a blast. And I would like to watch the fireworks displays, so much that I wanted to make my own, so when I was about 11 I got some PVC pipe and a massive amount of bottle rockets. I distorted everything so much that it was hard to recognize it as a soon to be fireworks display. However this ended up to be an epic fail. After all was said and done all I had was some colorful flames and melted PVC pipe. I learned plenty of the standard tricks when i was young. So here are some tips that some people can use this the 4th of JulyBottle rockets - Now bottle rockets are illegal in most places now a day, but if you have them, Recognize that it is not wise to point that thing in any direction but up. And particularly don't point them at any friends, they might have some too and have a sudden desire for revenge. And trust me you don't want a bottle rocket racing toward your face; it's not a fun experienceExplosives -Ok, do not light anything that goes BOOM, while griping it with your bare hands. Depending on the size of the the thing that explodes, this could do anything from messing your hand up for a couple days, to losing your hand completely. As a matter of fact, I don't recommend lighting most fireworks while holding them. Short fuse - If something has a very short fuse, my first suggestion is to throw it away. However, if you really must, and it's not a firework that goes boom, then use a long BBQ lighter. Actually utilizing a long BBQ lighter would be good to use for most of your home pyrotechnics & fireworks display needs, it's just practical.Duds - If a firework does not go off after you light it, DO NOT TOUCH IT... Just let it sit for awhile, like 15 minutes... If you don't have that time to wait for it, then throw a bunch of water on it... And even after you waited 15 minutes you should probably still throw water on it.I hope you find these tips helpful as these guidelines sure have kept me injury free over the years. Because I am still a pyro at heart and Pyrotechnics has proved to be a very fascinating part of my life. But, now (Armed with a little more common sense) I do things a little less hazardous. Pyrotechnics is a Really entertaining hobby and I suggest that those with a "pyro spirit" should look into it as soon as they can.
