I've never used scotchlocks when wiring fireworks yet, as I like to operate on the assumption that the fewer splice points (or connectors) there are,...

I use scotchloks by the 100’s to add scab wire and have never had a problem. As others have said you may have used the wrong sized connectors but it...

If they are brand name scotchloks and the correct ones used for the wire size i'm pretty suprised. I had issues with the no name scotchloks but...

Yea, ya gotta think about wire size, I have, for over 30yrs,,, ;) used a tool from the phone companies for "J / K" wire, called a Pick-a-Bond from...

Had an excellent 4th here. Only lit off a few of my own things earlier in the evening to scratch the itch. Ended up going to a major municipal show...

Reminiscent of the bunker explosion in Newburrgh NY a few years ago, supposedly caused by a worker pulling out the electric match from a shell.

They way the explosion looked to me was not consumer fireworks. It looked like a very large amount of sensitive mixture or chemicals.

Guess I should clarify what I am talking about. For Fountains, I have the igniter directly down the tube the fuse is going into. Was wondering if...

As I had stated I do not have a receipt, is that the only means of verification?

Looking back over the years at these types of events this close to July 4. Electric match is suspect. I never liked the idea of placing match in...

Shipping containers are commonly used for storage. And those salutes are not 1.4.
