I've got my brother's old Vashon rocket, and keep telling myself I'm going to restore it "someday". Maybe I should just go ahead and plan to do it in time to fly it at PlasterBlaster.

The article to which I posted a link earlier contained various suggestions for alternate fuels, I believe.

Actually, you want the stuff that comes in spray cans for testing the effect of temperature on electronics... generally sold under trade names such as "circuit cooler", "freeze mist", etc. - what they're selling for that these days is R-134a, the non-ozone-depleting successor to the no-longer-available R-12 (which was what the original Vashon "Cold Power" propellant actually was).
Performance should be pretty similar with R-134a.

They were assimilated by Estes in the early 70s. That's how Estes got it's cold power rockets. Which led to the original Land Rockets.
