Haven't you blokes heard of "chicken sticks"?

Yeah, but chicken sticks were for chickens!

Real men (boys) used their fingers, and also learnt to clean the edges on props.

 

Chicken sticks also tended to break props.

 

While modelling in the RAAF through the 70's, I discovered that the engines in the CAC Sabres were started with a material called Iso-Propylene-Nitrate (IPN), was a good 'nitro' replacement and there were still a few bottles laying around.
