The new Estes starters can easily be enhanced. The clear coating is water-soluble. I soak them for about 30 minutes, and the coating turns gummy. It can easily be removed.
Then, they can be dipped in NC lacquer, giving them a nice little flame. I’ve got quite a few Quest Q2G2 igniters saved for clustering, but the starter could be enhanced further with a pyrogen mixed with NC lacquer and should be a very good cluster igniter. Firefox Enterprises in Idaho is a good source for a variety of pyrogens.
