Hi,

I bought some of the one inch plastic shells from planet pyro. They do not fit in a one inch tube, the shells are 22mm and the tube is 25. It takes a considerable ammount of masking tape to make the shells fit, and the tape effects the break. How do I wadd the shells out to fit properly in the tube without it affecting the break?

thanks,

Pete.

3 mil shouldnt much of a problem in my opinion. have you tried launching the shells as is?

I think smaller shells need to have smaller gap than 3 mil. Or else they won't go high enough or he will need too much lift.

I fixed it with lots of tightly wound masking tape. It seems if you wind the tape all around rather than just round the middle it dosnt affect the break too much....

Yeah, the other thing i was gonna suggest is to paste the shell prperly. Even pasting makes for an even break

yeah ok. It seems odd that a one inch shell wont fit in a one inch tube :S
