Merlin Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I am using 3" mortars. Would ball shells or cylinder shells be best for crackling /strobe fuse display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shunt Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Never used effect fuse in shells that big before, it would sure take a lot of it for a 3"! But if you have boatloads of it to burn, I would gang cut and prime the ends for a can shell. Skylighter has a good tutorial on the details for smaller shells, maybe you could upsize that.

braddsn Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Hey Merlin... I tried a bunch of different 'effect' fuses that I bought from cannonfuse. I tried them all in 3" ball shells. I tried strobing fuse, flying fish fuse, falling leaves fuse, and a couple others. None of them were very good in a 3" shell. It was actually hard to see most of them at all. I think that these effect fuses would be better suited in maybe 1.75" shells, or starmines. FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I agree with braddsn. Those fuses work nice im small items which are viewed up close, but the effects are quickly lost at a distance. I like to use a small bundle of fish fuse as a header for bottle rockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
