GLO-PLUGS
Here is vital information on how to keep your glo-plug working at peak performance and what to look for if a malfunction occurs.1. There are two types of glo-plugs: 1.5 volt and 3 volt. The 1.5 volt is for use in all single battery devices and the 3 volt is foruse in all double battery devices. If the wrong glo-plug is installed in a device, it will either burn out or burn very dimly -inadequate for ignition. 2. We’ve found that alkaline batteries last the longest and give your glo-plug the most firing power, usually 30-40 firings beforeyour glo-plug grows dim and battery replacement is necessary.3. Our glo-plugs usually last 20 to 30 firings before replacement is needed (due to corrosion and/or crushing of the inner wire).To remove the glo-plug, first unplug the wire. Then turn out the glo-plug counter-clockwise with a small wrench or pliers.Our glo-plugs have a special size threading and hobby store ones won’t fit. Replacements are available from Star Light andMagic.4. If your device doesn’t fire, first extract the paper and check the glow coil. A dim glow indicates weak batteries or that yourglo-plug may have been crushed. To correct the problem, remove the glo-plug, and with a straight pin, carefully lift the center coil upward so that it’s level with the top surface. If the platinum wire breaks, a new plug is needed. 5. Flash Cotton is an excellent primer for all glo-plug devices. Take a pinch of Flash Cotton, fluff it up, and insert it against theglo-plug coil before inserting Flash Paper. NOTE: If your Paper pops out without lighting, you’re using too much Cotton. Because Cotton lights more quickly than Paper, your glo-plug and battery will last much longer when Cotton is used as aprimer.6. Use only the best Flash Paper you can get your hands on, and never use Flash Strips. Flash Strips are factory seconds and willgum up your glo-plug. If your first firing yields only a puff of smoke, it’s an indication that a larger amount of Paper isneeded. Flash Powder will destroy your glo-plug and burn your hand. Avoid powder in any hand-held device. 7. Barrel cleaning is a must if you want good results from your product. Burnt Flash Paper builds up a sticky residue inside yourdevice’s barrel. This build-up causes slow lighting and great restriction to your projecting fireball. To clean, remove the glo-plug and brush out the barrel with a stiff wire brush. Round wire brushes can be found at most gun, plumbing and hardwarestores; buy one that fits your barrel size. Twist the wire brush inside your barrel until the inside becomes clean and shiny. When your barrel is clean, it will use less paper and shoot much farther. Re-install the plug, and you’re ready to go.8. There’s a plastic insulating washer that fits between the glo-plug and the glo-plug clip. It prevents the glo-plug clip fromtouching the ‘nut’ of the glo-plug. The nut is the electrical "ground" for the glo-plug, while the center shaft is the ‘hot". If thehot and the ground are shorted together by the clip, your device won’t fire. If you lose your plastic insulating washer, requestanother from us. Meanwhile, your device will still work if you refrain from pushing the clip on so far that it touches the base (nut) of the glo-plug (i.e., the clip should only make electrical contact with the glo-plug’s center shaft).
