klachner Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) hello,recently i found this video of two shells: and i wondered what stars were inside?

Ubehage Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 It looks like blue stars with a Titanium-tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klachner Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 how fine must this titanium be that the tail is so dense? if i use titanium you can always see the single sparks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Looks like a silver streamer, which is more or less a charcoal streamer with 10-15% spherical Ti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExplosiveCoek Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 It can also be perchlorate based + aluminium. I like those better because they burn more bright and fierce than BP + Ti addition formulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aspirina Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Star type write gold stream? It seems some kind of star with more than one composition, if you look well, two types of effects are appreciated. The first a common comet and then the crackeling effect.

lloyd Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 There are two types of stars in each of those shells. One is a fairly ordinary gold glitter. The other is a 'dark primed' crackle core. The glitter hides the faint trail of the primed crackle stars. Upon burn-out of their prime, you see the titanium-laced crackle perform as an outer petal. It's a common combination of effects. We call that sort of crackle 'brocade crackle', and it's made simply by adding titanium to ordinary crackle composition, then processing it as you would normally for star cores.

LloydI am pretty sure that only a type of stars were used which was a glittering composition rolled over some clustered crackle cores. The crackle stars appear just about at the finishing and on the same trajectory of glittering effect which is quite impossible if two different type of stars are used .

Aspirina Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 it's possible to do something like that using married comets? using paper tape for taking fire in one side of the comet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloyd Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Yep. But for commercial class-C shells, that's too much labor when it can be produced more simply. A good Japanese shell would probably be done so... Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspirina Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 sry for my ignorance sr Lloyd, what is "class-C shell" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumagg27 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Can roll or pressed tiger tail or glitter with crackle stars to similar this type effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldMarine Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Can roll or pressed tiger tail or glitter with crackle stars to similar this type effectsIf you rolled the tiger tail using the crackle as a core it would work but tiger tail burns pretty fast. I wonder if it would burn out before the crackle had finished it's smolder phase and thereby leave a gap in the burst? I may try to press some 1/2" TT with crckle tomorrow if the weather permits.

lloyd Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Aspirina,"Class-C" is a USA designation for "consumer shells" (as opposed to 'professional' shells). Patrick... I don't think he means just a crackle particle, but a full-fledged "glittering crackle" star with TT rolled over it, so that you get TT with a finishing effect of multiple glittering crackles.

Aspirina Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Thanks LloydHere in Spain we dont have consumer shells, they are banned for a long time, at least I with my 20 years of age I have never been able to buy them. For professional use only... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livingston Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Def gold glitter with crackle cores! Or maybe a married comet with just one end of the uncover to get burned from one end to the opposite end with the crackle granules. Just my 2 thoughts!
