aaarrggh...

it doesn't work. i am using hairspray for fuel and ignites alright, but it blows the back off. it still shoots the Q-tip but this makes it so i cant hold it like a gun or i would have the cap hit me right in the face. sometimes, if i but just a little fuel in, it will work, but the q-tip will only go like ten feet. i guess i will have to wait until i empty a pill bottle with regular locking cap.

well,thnx for the response
