WPA DO-IT 2015: 6" Shells; also known as: "How much lift did you use?!"

 

All shells are 6" plastic with homemade stars. Yes, I love my crossettes for rising effects.

 

I need to work on some of those colors, mostly being too pale, others worked great. If there is interest I am happy to share my formulas.

Thanks! I honestly don't remember if that was the pink or purple formula. The one percent KChrome was added as a flame envelope expander however I didn't notice any real effect from it so I wouldn't bother. The magnalium does need to be dichromated though. The pink uses a lot of hygroscopic compounds but it dried just fine in a drying chamber.
