did you get round to trying this?
we have actually used mousse a few times in fireplay and its pretty good, it doesnt get as hot as when using flash sticks or cups (playing with fire is NOT for pain) and most people would recommend beginning with mousse, the good thing about it is you can leave it burning as it generally dies itsself out in seconds before it has chance to really heat up and leaves more of a chilling sensation than heat.
the best mousse we found was actually boots superstores own brand its not got too much water in ,(make sure you use a water based mousse) if the mousse you have is of a pretty tacky/sticky texture then bin it or just stick it on your head lol its loaded with dodgy chemicals and doesnt even burn half the time anyway.
the best area to try it is on the back or the stomach,unless you have hair free hands arms or thighs ,you need somewhere thats hairfree for obvious reasons and make sure you're not wearing any scent, hairsprays and any long hair is tied back or kept well clear etc
