  • how much ethanol u used is it 100% pure ?

  • @TheMkrules Hi. Used just enough to cover the bottom. The ethanol i used was between 95 and 99,9% pure.

  • what type of jar is it? do you blow fresh air into it before igniting? where can i buy Ethanol and what's it called?

  • @DiamondPilotDan Its a regular jam jar made of glass! any type can be used. You might wanna blow fresh air into it if you've tried to ignite it without any sucsess. Denatred alchohol is a type of ethanol that has been added some stuff which makes in poison to drink. Its often used for heating food when being in the nature. I can send you more information on PM tomorrow.

  • is there a way to tell if the glass is going to explode? i'd like to try and make this but I wanna know so i can get away before i get injured

  • @Thunderbolt505T are you thinking about the glass cracking into pieces cuz of heat difference or the glass blowing into pieces which spread everywhere when igniting it? i dont think the last one is ever gonna happen unless you are using some kind of super fuel or bad glass
