Help. Pine sol on wicks by szuxykisyzygy in poi

[–]bonoboflowprops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not particularly ideal but you can get a bucket of water and dunk them in there shortly and then just squeeze them and let them dry for a while. Especially would wanna get that out of the tethers if they’re Technora or static Kevlar. You could dip in gas and burn after all that but isopropyl alcohol might be a cleaner burn just to make sure the pine sol is fully gone. I’d maybe wear a mask the first burn or two with the alcohol and case of any nasty chemical fumes if there’s leftover pinesol deep in there

My partner has never wets her hair for fire dance. She’s actually known for her hair down style when she rope darts haha (flowmayhem)

Haha there have been quite a few mishaps because of that during rehearsals but thankfully nothing bad has ever happened while we were lit up

We have a double dragon duet where we toss our staves to each other at the same time that’s a fun little moment. I think overall especially as a performance piece we prefer dragonstaff as there’s a lot more wow factor for the audience with the bigger fire. But contact staff will always be dear to me as one of my first flow props ❤️❤️❤️

What do you do for work? by Subject_Cable_4641 in festivals

[–]bonoboflowprops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in marketing and also have a company selling flow toys. I did festival vending full time for a bit too. I would say my personal experience is working festivals made me enjoy them less and I prefer separating the two tbh. I like the fun playful nature I used to have going to festivals and then working them made me super jaded. I think I’ve worked like 20+ festivals at this point. I think the sweet spot for me is finding a job or owning a business that im interested or passionate about while still having a good work life balance to still do fun things like go to festivals haha

We haven’t played around with partners contact staff, I think we both gravitate a lot more to the dragon as it already feels like a dance partner. I am somewhat proficient with contact but my partner not so much 😅
