Hahaha! it must be some kind of divine intervention that all the slingers are spaced apart so well Smiley If we where closer most of us would be in deep trouble.  Grin

Here it is:

...

You see at the right, I  was thinking about taking some aluminium paper around that, because in flight that part will be behind the stone/cotton part. The aluminium paper should be put around so that when the sandwich paper where the twine is (at the right end), burns, the aluminium paper should fall off, making it easier for the rest of the fire gland to catch fire.

I was the guy that, when, I first got a boomerang as a gift, I invited my friends to come with me when I tried it out. The first time I threw it, I obviously didn't have the technique right, because it crashed some distance away. The second shot though, came around, made a full circle and hit me right in the neck. My friends, being as they are, just fell to the ground laughing. I meanwhile, just fell to the ground, half laughing half trying to get my breath back. this kind of thing happens with me more often than I'd like to admit.  A few years ago, back in Montana, I was standing beside this resevoir, handling this snake I had picked up, doing a crocodile hunter impersonation with the snake to impress this girl that I had met. Well, after handling it for a few minutes, while waiting for someone to get a camera, the snake starts getting a little impatient. No sooner does someone take my picture, than the girl says "Um, Jack honey, I think he's going to bite you" To which I manfully replied "Nah, the little bugger wouldn't have a go at m---"And then he latched on to my little finger and was just hanging there. I was laughing so hard I had to release the snake and sit down for a couple of minutes. I still handle snakes and I still throw boomerangs, so apparently I haven't learned a bloody thing from my childhood.

Ok, here's a detailed explanation with pictures:


Now add methylated spirit (or lamp oil), lay it in the sling, and throw!
The methylated spirit (or lamp oil) shall be poured down where the cotton sausage comes out, so that it'll burn too (that's what you put in fire before slinging it).

I use
Jurek's Nail Sling
when slinging the flaming gland, since that makes it not tangle into the release cord, and not make the release cord full of methylated spirit.

Here's what I did with the aluminium paper, you could also have not cutted the rest of the sanwich paper, but I think this would work best. You see that the aluminium paper will fall off when the sandwich paper burns. I have fastened it with some tape.

I get it now.  Thanks for taking the time to explain all that and take pictures.  I'll try it soon.  Where can I find the cotton sheet for the sausage thing?  Will it work well without Jurek's special sling?

The thing I roll the cotton sausages is just those you have at your bed, or old cotton T-shirts.
Yes it'll work just as good without a regular sling, but using Nail Sling only makes it impossible for the gland to tangle into the release cord, but there's not much chance of that happening even with a regular sling. Roll Eyes

In Edinburgh Scotland each year there is a parade of big men who swing huge flaming balls about their heads on a chain. I should imagine if you tangle the lines when lit up you too could end up wearing a kilt. Grin
