made my first batch of tiger tail stars
23 July 2009 - 03:08 PM
made my first stars a few days ago fair enough they were only tiger tail ones but they seem to be pretty good. i made a smaill mortar and fil one of my rocket tubes with some stars and granulated BP. at the top of the tube i made it like i would with a rocket ( compressed cat litter ) then once it was filled i covered the bottom with cat litter and put the fuse in and sealed with hot glue.as intended it shot out of the mortar and went about 25m high then exploded.im not sure if the star and bp ignited or if the tube just blew up. can anyone suggest a beeter way to make these with a small firework tube ?
