First center and glue the small cylinder to base. Fill this void with sand and glue the round cardboard piece to the small cylinder top. Next center and glue the large cylinder to the base. After the glue has set mix cement and fill form. Lift form and set it down hard several times and tap the sides to settle the cement.

Let Cement Cure and Remove Cardboard Form. Make Flame Snuffer.

Let cement cure for several hours. The longer the better! When cement is hard remove cardboard. Make a smaller cylinder form and with extra cement mix make a small cement disc to use to snuff out the Fire Fountain.

Fire-up the Fountain

At this time I must please ask you to proceed with caution in that you will being using fire and you can be burned.

I find 97 percent isopropyl alcohol works best. In the outdoors or a well vented indoor space set the Fire Fountain on level surface and fill the fuel well 3/4 full and light.

Flame will last about 30 minutes. Before refilling insure flame is out and the fountain cool before adding fuel.
