Hi, I bought a devco fireworks cake, never shot one before. It comes packages with a think plastic covering the whole thing, however the fuse can be accessed by lifting a little tab.Obviously seems easy enough, but I'm wondering about the transparent plastic covering on top... seems that will stop the rockets from firing up no?
yes!! remove the plastic and the red paper that covers the business end for the best effect.
You can remove it or leave it, it's up to you. It will not effect the performance of the cake however the fireworks will tear it into little plastic pieces that will be all over the place. I like to remove the plastic/paper on the tops of fireworks cakes to reduce the amount of mess during cleanup.
