With availability steadily decreasing and cost increasing, commercial thermalite ignitercord is becoming a dear commodity. Now you can easily make an excellent imitation in two speeds for as little as 3 cents per foot! No special tools needed! Fully adjustable burn speeds, simple reliable ignition by DC battery current or direct flame, can be made stiff or limber and has a flame temp of over 3000º F to easily ignite most any composition or device. Dozens of ignition and booster applications! Recently expanded edition also includes detailed information on using Gary Purringtons’ “Pull-Coating” system to coat strings into cord at a rate of 300 to 400 feet per hour with Firefox Tabletop Matchmaking Stand (see tool section) to make many other devices such as cord stars, sparkler and color light sticks, strobe cord and stars, color pulse branching spark mixtures for stars, sparklers, fountain & salute effects, mines and more. We also include 9 different binder solutions (elastomeric and rigid set), thermic prime mixtures, friction ignition mixtures, quickmatch, blackmatch and over 44 various color light and spark formulations for use with the Pull-Coating method that produce excellent color the first time!!
