Pyrophury Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Nice colours and very impressive breaks - what are you using for burst/pasting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullzuiper Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Nice colours and very impressive breaks - what are you using for burst/pasting? Thanks. For pasting I just use gummed kraft tape. The break charge is 25 gram of slow flash powder, in the ratio 6:3:1 (KNO3:Ai:S) I do recommend however, if you have ball milled KNO3, to use less. Maybe like 15 grams. I just blended the KNO3 to a fine powder. Edited November 24, 2017 by redbullzuiper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just blended the KNO3 to a fine powder. It works very well. How many layers of gummed tape and in what fashion? Also, how do you prime the stars? Cheers.

redbullzuiper Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 I hand paste the shells. They contain about 12-15 layers of gummed tape. The star prime is milled BP + 5% Si. One star composition, the blue one, I primed with a very thick layer of C6. I made 1 test shell to test the C6 prime in an exceptionally hard break.I used 40 grams of flash powder KClO4:Ai (67:33) and they light just fine. It was just a test. The bang it makes is just too loud for an non-salute shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
