What should NOT be used to secure quick match connected to aerial shells, mines, or comets?

When securing quick match connected to aerial shells, mines, or comets, it’s essential to use methods that ensure safety and reliability during a fireworks display. The use of staple guns is discouraged because they may not provide the necessary integrity or consistency needed for securing pyrotechnic materials. The fasteners from a staple gun could fail under the dynamic conditions experienced during a fireworks display, leading to potential hazards such as misfires or unintentional ignition.

On the other hand, options such as ropes, glue, and wire can be employed effectively when properly applied. Ropes can provide secure and adjustable ties, wire allows for stable connections that can withstand tension, and glue can be used to bind materials without risk of damaging the fireworks. The emphasis is always on using methods that maintain the structural integrity of the pyrotechnic components while ensuring that any connections remain secure throughout the display.
