You could incorporate a contactor to fire the pyro sqid as well!                                                                                                                                                      

 

I believe he's referring to a SQUIB - which is a highly volatile and explosive effect HOWEVER you have to have a pyro license to even buy them.  They are one of the more highly sought after - though highly controlled items out there.  They are a small explosive device (think bullet hits in movies) but are dangerous as heck in the wrong hands.  Likely you cannot get them, cannot buy them and would certainly have to have a qualified pyro to set them up.  Actually it would blow a glass jar to bits - they're that powerful.  You can get them in different grades some less explosive some more, but YOU can't buy them except from someone who is concerned only about making money and not your safety.  I think that's what he was referring to with the squid statement - it's SQUIB and dangerous in the wrong hands.  I've used them and am always VERY scared when I do - static electricity can set them off in your hand and then you're in big trouble.

 

They were obtained for me by a friend of mine who is a licensed pyro, he was there and helped set them up, but I triggered the explosive - complete with sparks flying everywhere (sparkle powder).  SO USE some other means to accomplish your task. Safer, legal and will work just as well.

DUH!!! ACADEMIC NOW - but for FUTURE reference this is the case.  Glad whatever you did worked out for you.  See - trouble with responding to old outdated posts?  Sheesh!! Anyway, SQUIB - dangerous.  Alternatives - ANYthing - safer.
