In Topic: What is the ideal size for colored star in 1,2-inch (30 mm) cylinder shells?
11 September 2014 - 01:14 AM
Hi,
Thanks for your answers. Now, I worked the chart out. The I.D. of my canister shells is 1,1-inch (28 mm). So 3,4 mm to 4 mm colored stars would be the best choice. I made a test with cut stars about in this size and the burn time and density was perfect. Thanks.
This is my new star roller from http://http://pyro-g...o.uk/Shop2.html, I bought on July 2014.
So, I will try to roll my compositon on mustard seed.

Hi,
What is the ideal size for colored star in 1,2-inch (30 mm) cylinder shells?
The burst look sparse and the stars will burn too long, when using 1/4-inch colored stars pressed with Wolter Pyro's star board. Only 25 to 30 pieces of 1/4" stars go in a 1,2-inch shell !
I hand press my COLORED STARS using a STAR BOARD. I use barium chlorate and potassium chlorate for my stars, because potassium perchlorate stars burn to slowly.
QUESTION: So, what will be the ideal size? 3⁄16" (4.8 mm) or even smaller 9⁄64 (3.6 mm) ?
Thanks,
Philipp
