fredhappy Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) Hi Guys,This is my first 5 inch ring shell. I've encapsuled the stars in a thin piece of tissue. I was inspired to do so because of a Chinese ring ballshell autopsy I saw at passfire. I noticed how the Chinese use this technique tokeep the stars nice and snug so inside the hemisphere so the shell can be handled without the stars moving about. data: weight : 510 gramsbreak : 322 grams MCRH 4/1boost : 5 gram KCLO4/indian black 000 hotflashstars : 12 mm blesser blonde streamer stars, made with BBQ charcoal, unfortunately the composition was overmilled.lift : 50 grams of 10 mesh pulverone, made with hemp charcoalpasting : 4 layers of 3 strip method, consolidated with weath paste.comet : 20mm blesser blonde pumped with comet pump. I hope you guys like my shell. I've made a nice batch of winokur 20 and veline red stars ,soon I'll start building some nice 5 inchers using these stars. I'd like to close with a message to my wounded fellow pyro Mumbles: Get well soon , I hope you heal quickly . 5 inch ring blonde streamer.AVI Edited September 13, 2010 by fredhappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlos Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Again. Short duration. Many Ti compositions have more longer duration. Change formula for these big shells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredhappy Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yeah Karlos I know. It was a leftover amount of stars from my previous batch of blesser blond. I just overmilled it. But I was was just experimentingwith getting a nice ring form. I also used too much lift, so it also went too high. It stil was a fun shell to shoot, I love the larger calibres .
