Ether used to start diesel engines

buy rubbing alcohol and put it in a spritzer bottle.

You can also try the shoe spray (that makes shoes water proof) it works well

TAG or AXE deoderant spray works wonderful better then ether.

A friend of mine uses that spray-air freshener crap. Double purpose: Makes one good boom, and keeps the gun smelling like cheap flowers (overspray down the side)

you should try obtaining pure hydrogen. all you have to do is do electrolysis on water or mix any metal with an acid and put a cover on it. remember though that gases pour upside down. they behave exactly like liquids except upside down and most gases are invisible. hydrogen is extremely explosive though so watch it.

Don't try hairspray. It doesn't expand fast enough.

rickman has it! engine starting fluid = diethyl ether. go for the premium grade starting fluid, as it is 40-60% diethyl ether, whereas the regular grade is about 20-35%. its about 3 bucks a can

I would try carb cleaner or starting fluid available at any auto parts store. You get a lot of bang for your buck.

Cheap aerosol hairspray or wd40 works best.But hairspray gums up the chamber.
