What did you make the fins out of?

@MultiFirecracker

I use 3/32 inch thick sheet balsa wood from the local hobby shop

[thedragonsprince]

can u use slo burn fuse

[crazywrx1]

@thedragonsprince

The fuse I use (green) is fairly slow - Ideally you would use that for the delay and splice it into fast fuse to ignite the core - that would give more consistant ignition.

@mandtan

What seems to be the problem when you try rockets? If you let me know what is happening I may be able to help.

@MultiFirecracker Balsa wood .

[hottube10]

Non should be before metalic

[hottube10]

Never use METAL while making fireworks,notice burn marks on the wood jig.Always use wood or non static/metalic tools,NOT METAL do not drill chemicals HEAT will set them off!!!

@mandtan Make sure you use a scale to get the ratio of kno3 to sugar ration right.

@jimbobjones123abc It would be simpler but making the rocket is half the fun.

should the cat litter stay in when the rocket has landed
