Thanks, I really focused on hard, strong breaks this time. It required a lot of testing and repriming of stars before.
I used MCRH 1:5 with assisted Apertura flash on almost all breaks, one of the 5'' had 7/3 in it. Apertura is more forgiving, but requires more pasting than other flash boosters.
3'' 6 g 6 layers pasting
4'' 8 g 6 layers
5'' 12 g of 7/3, 4 layers pasting. Others 16-18 g apertura, 8 layers pasting. I'm still convinced that by using 7/3 I can use less pasting, which is something I prefer. Based on this vid, and previous results, it should be doable. But still need some more tests.
6 the big orange + FeTi willow had 8 layers pasting, the white willow 10 layers. Both had 30 g apertura. I don't know why the white willow's break was so ugly, maybe I didn't fill it properly with MCRH and the stars started to shift a bit. Previous shell's made with these stars performed much better.
I used different kind of kraftpaper or gummed tape to finish the shell's, I was out of my regular kraft. I normally prefer using 80 g/m^2 kraft paper.

Looks like you are on the edge of making ghost shells.

@dynomike1, I've been thinking about them. Maybe it's doable in the bigger shell's, but for now I'll just leave them be.
@Fckimdead, thanks!
@Swapnilsutar, it's from Spanish PDF. But I exchanged the Ba(NO3)2 for KClO4.

Very, very nnice shell's!
Those breaks were indeed huge, that silver/white glitter looked really nice, what formula did u use?

The white glitter to blue one's is the Fe2O3 based Spanish glitter. Very nice and slow glitter with good hang-time.
There are also some golden streamers in there, they are BP + SrCO3 + Sb2S3 based. It's a composition from Mike Swisher I found once at Passfire.
