The thread on weather has got me thinking about my own rain proofing techniques. I always assume it's going to rain and bag everything. For cakes I electronically fire I'll cut a slit in the bag, insert my e-match and then tape over the hole with a piece of packing tape or duct tape. Seems to work fine but is a potential water entry point should the tape lift off. Are there any better methods?

On rainy type days, we wire our 1.3 cakes with them still in their bags and tie em up like it was a trash bag with the wire sticking out of the top and fold that tied part underneath the cake. No issues ever. Same process if we had a nice day and had to put them in a bag because of incoming rain.

I do it the same way as PyroManiac1981. Keep the open end on the bottom, folded under and taped and you'll be snug as a bug and water tight as a frogs butt.
