- -Blasting Caps-
-
- Blasting caps are a little better way of setting off and explosive.
- They can give the explosive a higher detonation velocity and are needed for
- some higher explosives were a simple rocket igniter won't due. This is
- kind of a mild version of a blasting cap. It does not pack quite the punch
- a regular blasting cap would. For one thing this will flash more or less
- and an actuall blasting cap would explode or pop. All you need is some
- paper, an estes model rocket igniter, and again some paper caps. Take the
- paper and cut off a peice about a square inch..you can size it down as you go
- along. COMPACT some caps into the peice of paper. Then cup the paper so
- that the caps are in a little ball like shape. Then insert the igniter into
- the middle of the cap ball and crimp the paper shut tightly. You should
- place a thin strip of tape right were the paper and the igniter meet to
- keep it closed and compact. Then you insert this into whatever your device
- is and clip your detonating wires that run to the detonator on it and boom
- your done!
