for fuel i would recommend a handy little aerosol called Static Guard. i have moved on to propane, but back in the aerosol days it was the only way to go. and i still use it for one of my combustion cannons. the great thing about static guard is that its 70% alcohol, 12% propane, and 15% butane. that accounts for 97% of the contents. its basically a bunch of fuels in an aerosol can with small amounts of other stuff added to give it a commercial purpose. be careful not to add too much tho, its very powerful. my full size combustion needs only a 1/2 second spray.

i used Static Guard for my old, full sized cannon when i had a lantern sparker and Oust wouldn't work then. then i put a piezo in the cannon and Static Guard won't work and Oust was mors powerful then the old sparker and static guard. maybe i just did something wrong both times, idk, ill try static guard. Thank you
