I didn't doubt them, somebody else claimed they were junk & I was suprised they were so poor AND pyromeshed, didn't make sense. Actually appears the video was wrong & they are superb. Yes saw the review by PyroGuy, very impressed

JTF have a stonking deal on 20 of these and 10 of the larger Interstella Wars + 2 x Scud Silo, £99 + the dreaded - VERY tempted to drive up to Stoke and grab all that pyromeshed goodness

Best way to light multiple fuses and produce a tighter swifter display is to use portfires;
they produce a hot strong flame,
they light fuses first time every time,
and they don't go out like the tapers do in the selection boxes and packs.

Set up romancandle shot tubes by straightening the tips of the fuses and burying them close together in the ground so the fusetips are close together light with a portfire and voila! the sky lights up with four or more multiple bursts! You can also light multiple cakes/fountains etc together and speed up the timing for a multiple saturated display that will have your audience pleased on all fronts. I ALWAYS use portfires and never give the tapers a second thought.

To the guy who was asking about his rocket leaking Black Powder.

dont use it. if the rocket motor is damaged.There is a very good chance it will explode when lit. It is most likely that it has been slightly crushed. the rocket motor is made from compressed bp. .

also you are lucky it wasnt flash powder(grey) you lit, as you would have blinded yourself for a few minutes.

Fireworks

Yeah it might be fine, but as a precaution, personally I would not use it. (does it looks mishaped too?),. . IF they want to use it then it is their own fault if it explodes on the ground, and injures someone. You cannot tell someone it is fine to use, because you simply dont know. Like you said you are not a proffesional..

I have had perfectly normal looking ones explode instead of launching(standard fireworks)
