Yes winshield washer fluid or de-icer works ok. Though, methanol is sort of toxic, they use about 60% methanol in there (or ethanol, or sometimes isopropanol). But 91% isopropyl alcohol works better, cause unlike methanol and ethanol, you can see the flame during the day. The reason they mix M/ethanol and gas (e/m85) Cause you cannot see it if in a crash.

You cant see it in a crash? the people trying to save you would just set themselves on fire trying to save your life. stupid Chinese oil companies

Thats real smart, you shoot fire right at the wall of your own house.

This is pretty awesome, although i probably would opt for a simpler method.

You should make one with the Dart Attachment so you can make a Fire Ball Shooter!

This is cool, ima try and think of a way to use a barbaque lighter thing to light it when you flick the wrist thing down, rather than a blowtorch. good idea man!

you could use 90%alcool it works nicely

You'd worry about the animal, and not the bus full of children...? wow...

dude try zippo fuel, it'l light in a stream it's easy to put out (in case of emergancy) and it is non-corrosive. If you do test it, please let me knoe. I want to see avid of it in action. Looks damn unsafe to me though.

zippo lighter fluid sometimes irritates your skin if it gets on you
Jan 11, 2010. 7:32 PMMattSwan says:
 Does it matter if it irritates your skin? One accidental knuckle touch and BAM no more middle finger tendon.

eeeeugh, Gore and death and the like don't bother me one bit but for some reason that thought buged me a bit. I get a picture of ..............O_o just ouch
Dec 22, 2009. 5:39 PMZantoD says:
 I would also suggest something to cover your hand. If that torch ever touched you...lets say you would lose the use of your fingers.
Nov 1, 2009. 7:00 AMColonel88 says:
Wait, so the can of pressurized air is ON by default? Because you have to press the little tube DOWN to release the valve. How do you make the air go into the tank by default? Please help, I want to know how to make an un-pumpable watergun or something :D

if you wore those blue gloves from the tazer glove (insulater) and covered them in aluminum foil (flame resistant) it would proctect you petty good you could maybe combine them

This will be perfect for my Colonel Mustang cosplay!

you and killerjackalope would be great friends.
Jul 26, 2009. 8:27 PMmettaurlover says:
i'd attach the flame source to the water/flammables tank so that it wasn't on your wrist. less chance of accidentally burning your fingers that way. also looks cooler.

alcahol is good
Jul 11, 2009. 6:09 PMshabaki says:
instead of using torch to ignite try something like a spark plug or a jacobs ladder style contineos flow (for as long as needed)
Nov 29, 2008. 3:57 AMkenprush says:
I like the idea, but it seems really stupid...

I'll let you know how it works! =)

lol

a really great fluid to use as fuel is WD-40, bug-spray also works well. but in my testing, WD-40 is bigger and kinda cool.
Dec 29, 2008. 9:07 PMpeach_fart says:
bod deoderant spray burns well, comes out fast and goes about 3-5 feet. also, its loud as hell when you burn it in a bathroom stall ;)
Jun 24, 2009. 6:45 PMRock Soldier says:
Please tell me that's from experience.
Nov 3, 2007. 5:08 PMgameboy7oa says:
bug spray is actualy a bad idea to use the last time i was messing with it i almost passed out from the fumes
Jun 24, 2009. 6:45 PMRock Soldier says:
Yeah, not the best idea.
Nov 4, 2007. 8:15 PMpbpenguin5 says:
good point
