It should be a good one... nice work.

Here is my first 6" Go-getter shell. Video was filmed about a mile away on my front porch. Getters appeared white in the video but looked decently blue up close (damn Samsung phone lol)

Was that made with Dag's special pump?

[Jakenbake]

That batch was not. Unfortunately I found the core of Dags pump a little larger than what my comps needed. I just packed the comp into the tubes and used a straight O-ring punch to the desired depth. I should have a few more vids to come. Hopefully better than this one.

 

 

Sorry pyroMIKE didn't mean to hijack your thread.

No priming on the stars??

 

Strobe stars can be fairly tough to ignite, and those pumped stars may start jetting..

Yes.Slurry +4f bp prime on the pumped stars (those light very easy without bp prime) and yes on the strobe cut stars.Used bp prime+5% mgal to prime those.
