Yay, my first shell was a half success. The shell broke perfectly and the effect was nice, but I didint put enough lift in. It only went about 30ft, then fell and the shell bursted at about 10ft.
Inside the shell were about 10 micro stars made from cutting up larger stars until they were about 3mm.
I mixed it with BP and i used a short peice of visco rolled up in masking tape which ducted the ignition into the middle of the shell.
It worked quite well...

In future can you post shell related post in the shells thread, it keeps everything tidy.

sorry, i didnt realise there was a shell place...

I'd use about 3-5g, depending on how hot your BP is.
