Haha, I found a perfect way to make flaming stones, easy and cheap! Here's what you need: - A small stone, 2-3 cm diameter
- Cotton, like the ones you use removing makeup
- A piece of an old cotton sheet, about 15 cm x 20 cm
- A piece of sandwich paper, 50 cm x 50 cm (Or some other paper easy to work with and strong enough)
- Twine, about 2-3 meters
- Methylated spirit (or lamp oil)
Here's what you do: - Wrap the stone in cotton
- Whip twine around it to hold it in place
- Roll the cotton sheet piece to a sausage looking thing, and tie a little twine around it making it not roll up.
- Lay the cotton sheet sausage 1/2 times around the stone/cotton ball, fasten it with some twine, but let there be a long end left not tied to the ball
- Wrap the whole thing in sandwich paper like typical sweets, but the cotton sausage stick out of one end. This end should not be tied tight, but the other end shall be as tight as possible.
- Pour methylated spirit in the end where the cotton sausage comes out, but try to get as little as possible outside, so that the whole thing is dry outside. The cotton around the stone should be well soaked in methylated spirit, but not so that if you hold it with the cotton sausage downward it ripps a liter out of it.
When you have done this, lay the flaming stone/cotton ball in the sling, have a lighter ready and put fire to the cotton sausage. Wait a little so that it wont stop burning when you throw it, and fire away! When I tried it didn't stop burning in the air, and not when it hit the ground. Even when it was laying in halfways up in melted ice it didn't stop burning. I've made two of these till now, and they sure work! If somebody else try, I'd like to hear how it went! Gard
