what do you mean you use a piston to get them up, man i made 8 .5"x3" starmines last night and unfortunately didnt put enough lift in them......only one did what it was supposed to the other ones stars only went maybe 20 feet....but that other one easily hit 50.....it amazes me that even a tiny starmine like the ones i make look that good lol
@Rampede hey, I missed your question. Oh well, better late than never. A piston is like a 3" long, round cylindrical plug of thick cardboard below the stars/inserts/effects/whatever that evenly pushes up from below, a "piston" is exactly what it is. It sits on top of the lift charge and under the stars, etc. It has holes through it to allow some of the lift gases to pass through and ignite the effects sitting on top of the piston. The purpose is to lift everything evenly and a bit higher up
i have been playing around with zinc stars trying to make the zinc spreader stars but I can never make them so they break apart they just burn through. do you have any ideas?
@PoopSwindler Hey I know what you mean, it has a lot to do with the zinc comp used, and the amount of binder in it. The "granite stars" don't spread much. Try Degn's zinc spreader #15, it throws little pieces of zinc away from the star. The additional charcoal does need to be 36-40 mesh in size to do it correctly-
I do agree with everyone else, very nice starmine buddy. This may be my next project after my 3 inch canister salutes. What size were your salute inserts?
Thats awesome! Your fireworks always turn out to be great.. Their looks are neat too. And i love the breaks of your shells. Pleease make some tutorials
awesome man! Competing with the best on youtube,, Will give my judgement when I have watched a few more of your videos;) You are subscribed..that was one hell of a great starmine! Cheers mate,keep safe and keep the good fireworking up!
That was a very AWESOME mine mate and my camera wont pick up zinc stars ether but I knoe that thye looked very nice, i love zinc stars cause they are like the only colour i can get lol ***** stars mate :)

@Rampede aah, that's a sweet BAE hawk, I love that plane :)
The salutes just sit on the lift charge, with stars in the midle and on top.. This mine used a piston as well to really get them up good and evenly.

This video is not a great example but a pyrotechnic star is a small ball made out of powder that generate an effect once they fly away.
A small roman candle shoots stars usually one by one.
