You know I never really thought of that when I was doing this, I’ll have to look into why it does that. If I had to guess right now though I’d say that it must be something to do with the alcohol being sprayed through the air, maybe causing incomplete burning. I guess it might have just picked up impurities in the pvc too
@Sciencish With an alcohol/spirit burner, the flame I got from the same kind of rubbing alcohol (91% Isopropanol) was the same color more or less, one factor may be that the pharmacy rubbing alcohol is "dirty" in some manner, as I've found through experience (heating Glassware for chemistry) that it tends to burn with a very sooty flame.
Just cleaning up the house a bit
“Meet the Pyro”
I want to try to make something like this, but maybe simpilar and without any "comemrcial" parts. (Like more of a DIY)
I tried using a Ryobi mister nozzle but the shoot out is too little
I thought rubbing alcohol burns blue.
