Film Cannisters

Post by kase »

Just wondering what people are using for dry ice rockets/bicab vinegar rockets now that film cannisters are almost non existent now?

I use Berocca cans and they work marvelously! We use 1 Aspro Clear and about 1 cm of water. The cans do need rinsing afterwards, but they seem pretty hardy.
