Mexican M-80

*This cracker is very similar to the well-known M-80 that you can get around the 4th of July. These were originally smuggled into the states from Mexico, hence the name*

Ingredients:

  • 1 empty model rocket engine casing
  • visco fuse
  • 2 3/4" sections of dowel that fit snuggly into engine casing
  • black or smokeless powder
  • hot glue

    Procedure

    1. Drill or punch a hole in the center of the casing, large enough for the fuse to fit snuggly. Don't insert the fuse yet.

    2. Wedge one piece of dowel into the end of the engine casing until about 1/4" is left exposed on the outside. Use hot glue to seal it on the outside ONLY.

    3. Insert enough fuse into the punched hole so it is almost touching the opposite wall, on the inside. Seal around the fuse on the outside, like you did in step 2.

    4. Pour enough powder in to the casing so its about 4/5 full, pack it lightly.

    5. Insert the second dowel section, the same distance as the other, sealing the outside with hot glue when complete.
