Colored fire sticks

Wire Dips and Colored Fire Sticks These devices are made in the same way as sparklers, by dipping wires or twisted narrow strips of iron or thin sticks of wood, and generally bum with a tranquil flame except for the sparks that come from the burning of the iron wire or strip. Several typical compositions are listed. Alcohol is used for applying the compositions which contain shellac water, for applying the others which contain dextrin.
