Could you link to the soups you got these reactions from? I don't know how any of those massive sparks are made.

[Scorbie]

Just to report a negative result (as I couldn't find 'A negative result is still a result' thread I saw some time ago.)
I searched for a syringe alternative with quarterspartan catalysts (just made that up) with no unique results except the ones I posted in the useless / unsure thread. The search wasn't perfect but I think I searched most of the search space within 4 catalysts. Sad.

Just in case you're wondering what catalysts I used, here:
