TYRONEEZEKIEL Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 This was my first time making a 6" and first time using plastic. Im surprised it didnt break very symmetrically, I didnt use any flash booster all 6:1 MCRH. There is a 3" inner petal of buttered popcorn but it burns out very quickly. Let me know what you think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingPyrotechnics Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I think it was a very good shell for the first time ! Thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Did you do any reinforcing of the plastic hemisphere? I always found that was key to getting good spherical breaks. It sounded and looked like it broke plenty hard at least. You're probably well on your way to getting good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYRONEEZEKIEL Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I used the strapping fiber tape. Probably at least 8 layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
