  • The stars had magnesium added in them. The break was about 50/50 granulated bp/flash.  The stars diameter was 1/4". The formula for these stars is 55 - Potassium Nitrate

    17 - Sulfur

    11 - Charcoal Airfloat

    5 - Aluminum, atom, spher, 400 mesh, 14 micron

    5 - Dextrin 5 - magnesium.

  • I used flying fish glitter stars with Mg added, charcoal streamers, and a little colored flying fish for added effect.(you can barely notice the flying fish, it is red) For the burst I used a straw filled with granulated bp and some 70/30 perc/Al flash.To make sure the stars all light I fill in the crevices around the stars with bp. This also helps with the break.

  • That didn't look like flying fish...

    I make flying fish out of fine benzolift with 120 mesh aluminum. I fold over a long piece of masking tape with a thin line of power down it, and twist it up. Then I cover that with an equally long layer of tape and fold that over, continuing to twist it up. That creates great flying fish.

  • so inside the shell its just magnesium chips with a flash powder break?

    How big were the stars?

  • whats in that shell? Im about to make small 1inch shells....
