Ok so I’m going to have 192 single shot tubes (4 different kinds) to incorporate into my show this year along with 65 cakes. The finale already has 12 cakes in it. Any ideas on how to add them into the show, I have a couple ideas but would like to hear from others

I like that idea, I could liquid nail them in a box then fuse them together with different timed fuse.

They’re pretty good tubes. I thought of fusing some together along side with the cakes.

Also if you look at the vidoes "back yard fireworks" section, the name of the video is extreme backyard fireworks at 31:09 of the video Dave took a video of my home made firing board which is along the same line as a pin board firing syatem.

Skip to the 31:09 mark or just enjoy the whole video.

That thing is pretty awesome man. Unfortunately I don’t have a type 54, so no e-match for me.

I'm adding this to my show this year :-)

That's a lot of single shot tubes. I would hesitate to put more than a few in your finale, especially if you intend to have a sky puke finale, they will get lost in the chaos. A few breaking over your cakes will add another level.
Take three of them and liquid nail one to a board. Then take the other two and put the edge over the base of the first tube secured to the board on each side. Fuse them together with whatever timed fuse you desire....fast fuse will send them up almost together.
