dagabu Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 here is a link to pyobin 2inch can shell tutorial Cool, thanks! Question, on your tut, you show drilling a hole in the base and filling the fuse hole.... what was your rational? D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasm7 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 Cool, thanks! Question, on your tut, you show drilling a hole in the base and filling the fuse hole.... what was your rational? DIt is mainly preference I prefer to build the shell from the time fuse up. I also believe that it effects performance a little bit because these shell are more like mini starmines. and I believe the lid is the first part of the casing to fail so having the burst at the back would be mainly pushing the fish fuse out the lid. I hope that makes some sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaaskroegbaas Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 how do you coat your ricehulls? it seems to me they arent coated at all. Did you just added some meal powder on dry rice hulls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasm7 Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 how do you coat your ricehulls? it seems to me they arent coated at all. Did you just added some meal powder on dry rice hulls?I used the left over rice hulls from my first batch which didnt turn out to be coated that well. When I coat them I soak them in water and dry them until they are damp then start adding powder in 4 increments 3 with dextrin 1 without. You dont need a strong break so I decided to use my leftover ricehulls instead of throwing that batch away. here is a video of the shells being fired http://www.youtube.com/user/plasm7#p/a/u/2/X44Wyz0SesE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twotails Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I build my shells similer, although i use KP(in 3-4in or above), or a mix of KP and BP. I always set my burst at the back, I also offset spike with cotton(or hemp) string, soaked in a mixture of Redgum/acetone/alcohol, IMO it helps the strings not slip, and once dry are pretty hard. sometimes i go as far as spraying the strings with the same redgum mixture, to provide even distribution. I just made a shell with stars ranging from AP blues, Silicone blues, Strobes, RW Glitters, sparkler stars, and i think thats it. Why the mix of stars? I wasent going to have enough silicone blue stars, so i improvised. Can't wait till i send it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
