Guest PyroManiac1 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I would greatly appreciate it if someone could share the recommended star size for square cut stars in 3" ball shells. (Length and width) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon796 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 1/4" color.5/16-3/8" fast streamer types. Is the general guideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PyroManiac1 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 What is the width for the color as in thickness? Or does it not matter as long as it is 1/4" x 1/4" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMat Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) The Skylighter website has a nice table of information for shell making. I tried to post it here but for some reason the formatting gets dropped when I post it. Look on skylighter.com under firework making information ---> fireworks tables. When they state 1/4" or 3/8" stars they mean a cube of equal dimensions on all sides Edited May 28, 2020 by MadMat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetICouldMake1 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 If you think about the way a star burns, outside in, the burn time is determined by the smallest dimension. So a 1/4"x1/4" and a 3"x1/4" star will burn for the same duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
