Andres1511 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Very nice, I would indeed use more and smaller stars for that size of shell.Maybe go to 2" shells ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiley Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I think your burst looks great! However, they would look better if they were a little lower. They're in the air for over 2 seconds, so if you cut that down to 1.5 seconds, I think you'll see a difference. Also, a window screen is about 15 mesh, so that gives you (roughly) 4FA powder. Keep 'em coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braddsn Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 DaMounty, those are fantastic man. I don't know that you could improve them much. For that size, they are about perfect. I would say, try some colors now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peret Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) "Turbo Pyro" stars are probably C8 (Chrysanthemum 8) aka Shimizu Charcoal Fire Dust #2. Nitrate 50Charcoal 40Sulfur 6Dextrin 4 Or thereabouts. 1/4 inch stars are only too big for that canister because you can't get enough in. They don't burn very long. Try a bigger casing and 3/8 inch stars for a better effect. Also, try Tiger Tail for a slower burn - just change the Nitrate to Charcoal ratio from 50:40 to 45:45. PS: nothing wrong with your BP for lift and burst! Edited July 1, 2015 by Peret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
