nater Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Up for the auction I have 2 star pumps from California Pyro. 1/2" Cavity Star pump with a hole drilled through. I do not have the pin for it, a tooth pick or a piece of a bamboo skewer will work well. Cavity stars are traditionally pumped from a charcoal streamer comp and dried. The cavity is filled with a bright, contrasting color. The dried comet is pasted in similar to a crosette. The effect is a long duration color changing comet, good for candles and cylinder shells. Also up for auction is a 1/4" star pump. This is good for testing small amounts of stars for a small mine or rocket heading. If you are patient, you could certainly pump hundreds of microstars for a shell. Free shipping to the lower 48 US.

dagabu Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 **Addition to Pumps** If you agree: Nate, send them first class to me and I will face them, shine them and get the scratches out plus make a brass pin for the one pump and add a brass "tit" to the cavity pump if the winner wants, for crossettes. I will cover shipping to the winner CONUS via first class mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop being so gushy BB!!! Seriously, your efforts spilled over to Fireworking and the proceeds chopped off a full 1/4 of our debt!!!! I cant wait to get this going over there and see what they come with as well. I felt bad last time that we couldn't let all the people over here involved too so I started here.

No guilt at all VA, my pleasure! I got some goodies I am throwing in as well. I know a guy that makes 3/4" and 1" pumps as well, he is making a few this weekend, once I get the pumps from Nater, we might get a few more bids on this package!

My dark side says "Let the van break down, so we can stop using cookie cutters and play-doh extruders, you can walk to work a few weeks."My light side says "If I can scrape up more cash, I'll out bid myself, but I hope this package hits at least $100 and if it does, I'll donate my initial bid."
