    Picked up a couple of the advertised "Pyro Time" packs from Asda today, excellent VFM, £15 last year, £5 this year. There's a ground mine, pair of rockets, fountains, romans & couple of wheels too *cough Dan* :D

    Here's what you get for your £5 :

    Excellent catch at £5. :D

    i am wanting to make a roman candle bouquet but want to make it so i can change the roman candles after i set them off just woundered if anyone had tried this before if so what did you use to hold the roman candles in place

    If you had a frame with a compartmented trough at the base the candles could drop into that and then simply be cable tied to a rail across the top. The recoil is downwards and they can't come forwards/backwards/sideways sitting in the trough but when you snip the tie they can simply be pulled forward and lifted up & out to be replaced with the next load.

    The big spinny wheel is a beautiful wheel-lovely cascading effects produced and large comet bomb produces a loudish ground mine burst of crackles and a stunning aerial effect of a colourful peony burst or beautiful flying fish or bees.
  • thanks si7 that is similar to what i was thinking but thiught i would see what other ideas people had but looks like i will be going with that one thamks
