Office Booby trap

Step 9Attaching the trip wire

Attaching the trip wire
The trip wire is used to make the Latch raise, thus releasing the Rubber Band.

The trip wire is attached by making two holes in the Bottle Top. One on the top underneath the latch and the other below it, on the side.
Then feed through the string and tie it to the centre of the latch.

Heat a nail over a fire and then poke it at the desired spot. It works, literally, like a hot knife through butter.

Well, to simplify, try heating a nail over a fire then poke it at the desired spot. Did it before and it works like a hot knife through butter! Literally like a hot knife through butter.
