I know a couple of guys who said they get there's at Perry. They say it's hard to get anywhere else.

Try www.ray-vin.com

Or if you need a lot,

www.lehmans.com

Yahoo to the rescue again, I'll have to pass this on to them.

With 4th of July celebrations fresh in memory, ever heard of Big Bang Cannons? They use Bangsite which is a trade name for calcium carbide...when mixed with water produces acetylene gas...add spark and BIG BANG!

A tube of Bangsite sells for about $8. Made by:

Search google for calcium carbide. They list some sources for calcium carbide. But hold onto your socks when you go to the price lists.
