I did it when I was a kid back in the late 70's. 
However, I've had no trouble igniting 3 and 4 motors with Estes igniters using a 12v gel cell on a relay system. The problem isn't the igniters, it's the wimpy little launch controllers.
The only time I have a failure with the clear dipped igniters is when the bridge is broken or I let someone else install them and they short them in the motor's throat. I always check each igniter's bridge individually before using them in a cluster and I make sure there is separation of the wires.
