Not that I see it done very often but I was wondering if there was any safe fuel to use indoors?

    I used 50% white gas 50% candle during an indoor performance. I was pretty nervous about it so I soaked and spun my hoop off outside, then performed on a stage. All went well.

    Your best bet is to switch to isopropyl alcohol, the higher the percentage, the better, and use hybrid wicks. I'm not sure where you'd find it in canada, but we can get 99% iso in certain food stores here. We can also special request it from hardware stores. As for the hybrids, as far as I know, only Holistic hoops and Bearclaw sell them. Iso doesn't like kevlar and needs the cotton core to give you any kind of reasonable burn, even on the pure stuff.
