putting a chain of shells together
pasting shells is it better to use kraft tape and watered down pva glue or gummed tape i am just wondereing its just that im new to this firework making stuff. but i have been linking class c cakes for about 3 years

ive used both to good effect, whats important, is the size of strip and paper weight for the size of shell your proposing to make, there's a chart; shell building charts.
so now gummed paper,it is used for shell building,with the wasp auto pasting machine and is very handy for making quick match pipes, and small tubes for inserts, cylindrical shells
