So I have the ignite system as well and I am using these for my finale. If you're using clip on igniters you can only use 2 igniters at a time but if you're using MJG Initiators then you can use all...

So I've seen a few methods of how to secure cakes so they don't tip over while firing. I used the method of cutting the bottom paper portion of the cake and using liquid nails to a piece of wood....

This is great! Thanks guys!

Very interesting BMoore. Thanks for the video. I think I'm going to try both methods here in a few weeks/months and see which is easiest and works the best.

@ Scotty Rockets.... I don't have my...

Tim Thurber at '76 has done a great job for me. Always very attentive and helps with any questions I have. I recommend '76 to all my friends.

Did not think about going in from the bottom. That's good info.

So I was planning to tie off my wires to the side of the racks. I can see how going in from the bottom of the shell might be easier...

"the heat came round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day" One of my favorites.

I'm curious about the "Clubs". I am using Spirit of '76 for now and they seem to have okay prices. I really...

Thanks @Salutecake. I have the "Pyro Poke" that I got from Spirit of '76. I have the 4mm and 6mm (both brass) so those should do me fine I would think.

@Birdman I think the majority of the shells...

Nice Dave! Good stuff in that video. Sounds like timing the lifts shouldn't be too difficult with some care and attention.

@topshelfpyro..... I may try to venture into timing the breaks because...

Thanks Dave for all the information and the video. You guys' assumptions were spot on. I purchased the Visco shroud initiators because of their versatility and wasn't crazy about the clip igniters. I...

I see now, I missed the part where you said that taking the copper piece out of the quick plug meant it was un-shunted. Thanks again!

Thanks for all this Dave. Everyone on here has been a huge help and it is much appreciated.

So, I am using the MJG quick plugs this year and they do have the copper piece in the quick plug like...

Very true BMoore! I feel like no matter how much I prep or how early I set up I'm going to be focused on the show all day.

Thanks!

Thanks Salutecake & MontanaMike, this is all great info!

I do use the board method with liquid nails and will continue to do so. Easy clean up and I like the safety aspect more than anything.

Sorry @displayfireworks1. By "fusing" I meant set up. I'm using the Visco Shroud initiators from MJG and will be pulling back the Visco Shroud (I bought these before learning about this method) and...

Thank you so much!

I am new to the Forum but have really enjoyed reading the articles and even getting some feedback on one of my questions. Here's another one that I just cant seem to find much info on.

I am doing...

Hey Birdman,

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I'm going to pull back the Visco Shroud and insert the initiator directly into the cakes and canisters like Dave did in the video you sent me. I will be...

I'm using Red Apple Geisha (6") and Chroma (5") canister shells. I have the quick plug Visco Shrouds from Cobra and was just going to pull back the Shroud and directly insert the initiator into the...

Brilliant idea! Thanks!!!

So this is my first year using the Ignite Firing System (or any automated firing system for that matter) and I am trying to time everything up to music. I need my consumer artillery shells to fire...
