hey i just found ur question the night before i was doing the same thing, i was using about 9 sparklers and i tightly wrapped them from bottom to top very tightly the more tape and tighter it is the better forcing the sparklers to have only one way out so for a better fountain. but the bang side of things is having it compressed as muuch as u can making it release and explode. if u look up on youtube- "compressed sparkler bombs" u might have a bit more detail and have a tutorial to show u
