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

Brian,

Have you tried masking tape?

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:
