Nice shell Cookieman. Did you use plastic or paper hemisphere and what booster did you use? That water is sure convenient, always good to shoot over water.

Thanks Gunzway, I always use plastic ball shells, and I use 2g of slow flash as booster. The water makes me feel a little better in case of a shell not opening.

Too bad I cant send you an ounce of the Mg/Al I just got, 40-200 mesh. It makes D-1 burn to the ground! Its called fireflies on co*aine. If more is added, its called s**t falling on your head!

 

I plan on making a 4" canister that I will mount on a two stage nozzleless (thanks Pyropow3) so that the s**t falling on your head has time to burn out before hitting the ground.

Swap the sodium bicarbonate for barium carbonate, swap the Al for coarse Mg/Al (30-60). Everything else can remain the same.

 

I have 40-200 mesh Mg/Al that I use instead, it makes short and long pulses, I like it better.

No you are wrong, F.F.O.C. is more of a modified charcoal streamer using lots of airfloat and 80 mesh charcoal.

Cookieman, I made some big cut stars of your modified D1 which I'm going to use as tail comets for my NYE shells. As soon as they dry, gonna test some of them and tell you the results.
