GREAT STARS!
Wrap another layer of kraft paper around the spiking though.
and use a longer delay, and maybe more lift!
-
very nice stars 5*

Nice try tho mate, *****Stars

Nice purple, nice glitter too.
-
good stars
one tip tho
after you spike your shell make sure to wrap an exxtra layer of paper over the spiking
other wise the lift charge often burns it and rips it a part making it useless
great shell tho!!
-
use more lift

Low break for sure, all of the stars were in downward motion when the shell went off. Great job with the strobe stars and spiking though. Sounded like the low break was caused by a weak lift, no boom, sounded like all the gases escaped around the outside of the shell. I'd really like to know what you used in your strobe star comp.

Thanks. I pasted quite a lot over the spiking on this shell so it was actually quite tight fitting in the mortar. The weak lift I guess was just a underestimation on my part. I assumed I needed 1/10th of the shell weight but it was poor batch of BP so I should have used much much more.

Oh yea the stars were Winokur 20 glitter which is ....
48.00% Kno3
17.00% Sulfur
12.00% Magnalium (-200 mesh)
10.00% Charcoal (airfloat)
5.00% Sodium Bicarbonate
4.00% Iron Oxide (red)
4.00% Dextrin
Although similar, techinically its a glitter effect rather than strobe.
