| My First How-to(tm) Match Stick Rockets!!! You can make these in under a minute and they're a load of fun to set off. You only need a few simple things: First things first - wear protective clothing and eye protection! Goggles! - 2 matches (some types work better than others) - Strip of aluminium (tin) foil (NOT CRUMPLED!!! VERY IMPORTANT!) approx 1 match wide by 2 matches long - Something to hold it for launch: could be Blu-Tack(tm), Plasticine(tm), a match box, anything to hold it steady... Notes: When wrapping the foil around the match, hold only one match and hold it just to the tip of the match. Don't hold the launching match head when twisting the foil else it makes the combustion chamber too tight and is likely to explode rather than launch. NEVER aim the match rockets at any person or animal. They are dangerous and care should be taken when using these. Be Safe & have fun - protect yourself particularly your eyes!
