better but still shows where you are, and makes a bright obvious line in the sky from you to where you’re throwing it….
in the Winter War between Finland and Russia, the fins made a special cocktail… it was called the Molotov Cocktail… they put something in the gas, and then something on a paper bag and dried it out….
the bottle was only placed in the paper bag immediately before throwing.
Jews in the battle of Warsaw used the same technique… sneaking out and siphoning gas from nazis for this….
if you light something first you’re not only giving up any surprise you’re limiting the timing in which you can throw it….
you basically have to throw it immediately after lighting.
