- - How to make a little flasher -
-
-
- This is very simple and provides entertainment if you have nothing
- else to do. It takes about an hour to cut up all the caps, unless you have
- a few friends. You need the paper caps that come on a roll. Not the plastic
- ones. Then take a wide candle about 3\4 inch in diameter. Take out the
- wick so you have just the wax. Cut the wax so its about an inch tall. Then
- make a hole in it about the width of a teenagers pinky finger and leave the
- bottom about 3mm thick. After you have done that and cut out the caps in
- a circular form (make sure you do not leave excess paper around the caps),
- compact the caps in the wax cylinder(not pressing to hard!). After you have
- about half the caps in, place the wick in the cylinder. Then finish packing
- the caps in. The wick should be sticking out of the cylinder about 1\2
- inch. Now light it........It should flash when the flame hits or heats up
- the caps. The speed of the flash depends on have compact the caps are.
- If they are not packed in good they will more likley burn than flash which
- will cause a little mushroom cloud of smoke which I think is cool to.
- Have fun!!!!
