There was no leaking, the glue was strong. The reason for the fire coming out of the sides is because of the tube being so thick and powerful, while the end caps were simply thin paper. The paper was the weakest thus broke very early and created no explosion.

This does not mean that the tubing was too weak to create enough pressure, this means that the so called caps were too weak to create pressure. You would have told that before if it was so. If you did not mention the correct information, thats not my fault. And if you cant even take care of those small endings of the tubing(means that you were not even able to take care of the caps even when they are just small openings and only enough glue needs to be used) you will have tough time in pyro(I am getting in the habbit of using this word for replacing pyrotechnics and pyrotechnist, so please tell me if you have any problems).
Now its all clear and I hope there are nomore fingers pointing towards me.

I didn't say the "tubing" was not weak enough, i clearly stated that the END CAPS were too thin and weak to create enough pressure for the explosion, while the TUBING was strong. I was quite clear of that.. i made it, i know.

"And if you cant even take care of those small endings of the tubing(means that you were not even able to take care of the caps even when they are just small openings and only enough glue needs to be used) you will have tough time in pyro"

I slightly understand this after trying for hours to decipher it (speaking of incoherency). I did 'take care' of the endings... i used layers of paper and elmer's glue. Now afterwards, like i previously mentioned, i realize that because of the fact the end caps were not as equally resilient compared to the tubing, it led to no explosion.

Thanks for trying to sway the attention and finger pointing to me, but you failed. Thanks.

I make plenty of sense thx, i was responding to his nonsense. If you can't understand it perhaps look to a thesaurus/dictionary and/or scholarly reference for help. ;)

Blur and king_pyro,

This "discussion" doesn't seem to be accomplishing much. I *strongly* recommend you take a deep breath and get back to the pyro. (instead of debating who said what)

Good Firecracker = strongest , non fragmenting casing AND plugs possible, both are equally important, think of the "weakest link" thing.

It is almost impossible to contain Bp or flash too much, and some comps like good flash, H3 and whistle don't need that much containment to explode anyway, they burn so fast their own weight acts as containment, but slower burning mixtures like Bp require a stronger casing for good results.
