Hi all. I have a tech problem if anyone can help with ideas. In the play that I'm doing one of the characters has to spray another with a fire extinguisher. I presume that using a real one is a no go, chemicals etc. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm not up on this sort of thing. Cheers Jenny

How is this for utalising realistic props;-

Live grenade prop used in Dad's Army play

Frankly just use an air/water extinguisher, the amout of spray can be controled by the trigger handle - that's what rehearsals are for?

Offer some comps to a Fire extinguisher company, I'm sure they will have old units you can play with.

You might even get some forom of paid advertising out of them as weel?
