Web Fire Fans

Always inspect the Kevlar wicks before each use, keeping an eye out for loose materials and frayed edges. All wicking material burns a little with each use. You can add a bit more life expectancy to your wicks by extinguishing the flames rather than letting them burn out by burning off all the fuel.

If you discover frayed edges they can be sewn down using Kevlar thread. Or you can use PVA glue (aka Elmer’s glue or wood glue) to fix them. Apply the glue to the edges to prevent fraying. This also keep them that part from soaking up the fuel.

Your fans were designed to be both lightweight and durable, BUT they are not indestructible. Our fans come with a warranty NOT a warning against technical spinning and repair charges, like other brands on the market. Reasonable care should be taken to prevent damage, such as keeping them out of areas where people might walk or drive over them.

While these are designed to take impacts with the ground, it does wear on the steel and the wick, so try to avoid it as much as you can. They are made of steel, and one of the beauties of this material is that it bends rather than breaking (but repeated bending will eventually cause failure). If they do bend out of shape, you can bend them back into shape by hand.

SAFETY FIRST!

Playing with fire is INHERENTLY DANGEROUS, and MoodHoops cannot be held liable for any injury or property damage incurred through the use of these products. If you can’t take full responsibility for the consequences of your fire spinning, don’t spin fire. Even when following all safety guidelines, fire performance could result in accidental property damage, injury, or death.

Read the NAFAA Performer Safety Guidelines for points you may not have considered, though no single document should be considered as a comprehensive fire safety and fuel safety education.

You should never handle fuel and spin fire without the following:

• Supervision of an experienced fire performer and spotter.
• Prior training on fuel safety and fire performance safety.
• Necessary safety equipment and clothing.
• An expert level of experience performing with the fire tool you will use (having practiced with it unlit).

Below are some common sense warnings to guide your own research about fire safety and fuel safety.

• Do not use explosive fuels. Gasoline is explosive. Do plenty of research on the differences between different fuels.  If you are unsure which fuel to use, do not attempt to perform.
• Do not leave fuel in open containers while performing. An errant cigarette ash could start a fire.
• Fuel the wick far away from the lighting and performance area.
• Spin excess fuel off of the wick, far away from the lighting and performance area.
• Do not light your own wicks.
• Do not bring freshly extinguished wicks near a fuel container.
• Do not submerge freshly extinguished wicks into fuel.
