This hands-on workshop breaks down how pull-cord igniters work and how to build them for reliable use in pyrotechnic setups. We’ll cover the basic theory, materials, and assembly process, focusing on what actually matters for consistency and performance. This session also touches on practical use, common mistakes, and simple variations so you can confidently apply pull-cord igniters in the field.

Participants will produce pull-cord igniters that they'll interface with Class C fireworks to shoot onsite later in the day.
