Tim1877 Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 I have searched all over and can't find a recipe for this effect its my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrokid Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) As far as I can tell, there is a fair amount of latitude for the composition you employ to achieve this effect. To me, the defining characteristics of the palm shell are large bushy comets that spread in an offset pattern so as to resemble the fronds of a palm tree. Look at a palm tree and determine how many stars you need, and then maximize the size of the stars relative to this constraint. A good starting point for a gold metallic streamer is "bleser blonde streamer," although my preference is for something a touch slower. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Arthur Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 A "Palm" is just a shell that shows a big rising comet and then breaks to a few very short thick fast burning fronds. It is an exercise in how bushy you can make a comet and still fit it in a small casing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim1877 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 How do you make the comets bushier I was thinking of putting 5 3/4 in comets in a 5 in shell would I need a hard break since most of the shell would be taken up by comets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 The most efficient way is by using cored comets and fast burning comp. You're going to want far larger than 3/4" comets for a 5" shell. Think more like 1.5 to 2" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memo Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 might want to try the tiger tail diadem extra. nice and bushy and you might get by with a long 1 inch comet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
