Still can't get sparks in Bailey's Comet
I've been trying several variations of Bailey's Comet over the past two
years. The best made sparks about one inch high, but I don't recall the details of that test. The latest series of tests used Bailey's, Goldschlager, and 96%-by-volume Polish Spirit. The ground cinnamon just falls to the bottom of the Polish Spirit layer and I get no sparks at all. It seems to me that the cinnamon (or nutmeg) spark-fuel needs to either remain in suspension or float on the surface, so that it gets entrained in the rising vapour/flame to dry out and burn with a bright glow. I suspect it's connected to the size or type of spark-fuel, as the flaming part of the deal is working very well, but nothing I've tried is any good for the sparks. Has anyone here got a working version? If so, will you please tell _exactly_ what makes the difference? |
