Re-wraping Firecracker bricks ?

[NWPA]

A few of the older bricks I have has some tears in the cellophane covering. I have clear cellophane sheets that I sometimes use to shrink wrap gift baskets I make up. My question is the use of this to recover the bricks. A hair dryer is used to heat it until it pulls taught. Heating a 60+ year old brick has me wondering with the higher flash content and all. What do you think?

I'm not sure about what it would do to the actual value of antique fireworks, but I know from experience that the moment you alter most antiques they lose value. LOL, fireworks never last long enough here to get old, I think I have a brick of Black Cats that is about five years old. If you are simply trying to preserve them, I would just wrap them in regular kitchen saran type wrap and leave the original wrapping in place the way it is.

I will take that as sound advice. Kind of thought that just needed a nudge in that direction. Thanks

If it is falling apart that is an excuse to light that shit. LOL If you want to save them, you can enjoy them vicariously with this video.

I had a box of authentic M-80's that was given to me in the early 90's. It had been sitting in this old guys basement for 30 years or more. It was an incredible find for me as I grew up when we could still get them. When I got them home, the first layer or so was either leeching something or was moldy, so I threw those out. I lit a couple and they were as I remembered them. Shortly thereafter I had a fire in the house on the 2nd floor and it gutted the house from there up, but they were still in the garage where I had stored them. No one cited me or confiscated them, but they disappeared when the restoration crew was rebuilding the house.
