Great! very nice stars, wich silver comp did you use?

[Strihnin]

@skyisthelimitinc, thanks. I used a simple formula for white stars with some titanium added.

Potassium Nitrate: 60

Sulfer: 22

Charcoal: 5

Titanium: 11

SGRS: 2 (Or more dextrine)

These stars should be cut.

I was going for a longer tail but the titanium I have doesn't seem to be good for this (Granular), sponge would probably be better.

@Strihnin hey those were some very nice stars. Do you think it would still perform well if I replaced the titanium with -325 mesh spherical aluminum?

[Strihnin]

@Gforcelover Probably no, titanium burns differently than Aluminium but you can still try, it would probably give a nice effect.

very nice break, what was the size of the header?

[Strihnin]

@theartilerysheller1, header was 60mm plastic shell, I didn't have any plastic solvent so they were reinforced with a couple strands of fiberglass reinforced tape. I've got 2 more ready properly glued and pasted so watch this space :D
