Found this on MLS TIFO WEBSITE.ENJOY!Hello ultras. From time to time I will show you how to make things. This time it is smoke. You've seen it. There's a goal and the supporters light off smoke bombs.


The best supporters make their own. Why buy puny little smoke balls for a dollar? It's way more cheap to just buy some powder sugar and powder Drano and make your own any size you want.

Not to mention it is a great way to make use of the empty cans of beer you smuggled into the stadium.

I found empty cans of Red Bull also work very well (and are smaller). You can make other colors with additives (see below). But this works well for a team with green as their main color.

Hit play to see just how easy this stuff is to make. You can buy wicks online in the US (http://www.pyrocreations.com/fuses)or Canada (http://www.rocketfireworks.ca/lighting.html) or make your own. (http://www.ehow.com/how_4597165_make-firework-wicks.html)

To make different colors, here is what I found:

Soy Wax Dye, used in making home made candles or soap works really well to make colored smoke bombs. You can buy some Soy Wax Dye Blocks in different colors on ebay or search for them online. (http://www.google.com/search?client=firefox&rls=en&q=%22soy+wax+dye+blocks%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8)




Basically any organic dry dye will do. You must break it up and make it into a powder to add to the mixture. I've made green, red, blue, yellow-green and orange so far.



Make sure you get the dry stuff as the liquid will not work. And make sure you mix it in well. 1/6th-1/4 of your formula should be dye. Experiment first at home. Then take your smoke bombs to the stadium.


LASTLY:


There are creative ways to get them into even the most secure stadiums (ever watch the World Cup.) I won't go into that in this post but if you google around you can find out.


DO:


Be safe.


Light it under a giant banner or one of those giant jerseys (Ask Houston Dynamo and Chivas USA supporters about this).


Make more than one in case something happens to it. Plus, the more smoke the better the tifo display.


Place them around the section if you have control over your section like in DC.


DO NOT - NEVER EVER:


Throw smoke bombs onto the pitch.


Throw smoke bombs at all. Light them and get away from them if you must but do not throw.


Make a smoke bomb bigger than a liter in size. They are just too cumbersome and hard to handle.




BE SAFE = HAVE FUN

i love smoke bombs. but they're not what we need right now at BMO especially in wake of the flare crap.

Would be great to have in our stadium, but it's been shot down too many times. Not going to happen in our stadium for the time being.

Would be nice, though :D
