RiderX Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) my first multi break canister , top and bottom fused , was roughly 1200g before final wrap/commets and lift bottom/lift side/ 2nd break timed at 4 seconds 3 stacks of 10 of TT top break/ 1st break timed at 3 seconds ,1 ring of 10 TT , layer's of 1/4inch TT and Glitter , tip layer is another ring of 10 TT and more 102 grams of lift shooting it in the next 2-3 hours and ill get some video posted Edited March 24, 2018 by RiderX
RiderX Posted March 24, 2018 Author Posted March 24, 2018 bottom break went mine/flowerpot but her it looked cool i pit the extra disc meant for the lift side on the wrong break without relizing it , so take 2 next weekend
Wiley Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Rider, what you've made is more appropriately called a piled shell, since both breaks take fire from the lift. A multibreak only has the first break take fire during the lift (not from the lift, as they are always top-fused), and subsequent breaks take fire from the bursts of preceding breaks. Do you have a copy of Fulcanelli, and/or a subscription to Ned's site, fireworking.com? If not, I'd recommend at least joining the site and plenty of questions as they come to you. Stay safe.

Mumbles Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 I support everything Wiley said. Fulcanelli especially is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in cylinder shells. I half-assed it for a while, but my building ability improved leaps and bounds once I read through it. When a shell flowerpots like that, the first place to investigate is reinforcement and the seal around the fuse. I'd also suggest doubling up the string at a minimum, by spiking with 2 strands at a time. That cotton you're using is not overly strong.
dynomike1 Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 I thought we established 2 strands in another conversation, but i guess not. I see he is still using one.
Wiley Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 I use 2-3 strands of 8 ply polycotton from Amazon on 4" and 5" shells. I like 2 strands of 12 ply for 6s and 8s, and 3 strands of 12 ply works well on 10s and 12s. The string is always sopping wet with wheat paste.

That cotton you're using is not overly strong. the bottom disc of the casing was blown clear out of it , disc with the pass fire tube in it was recovered in one piece , as was the casing , ill have to post those pictures i honestly wasnt expecting this new bp to be that much more powerful then what i had goten used to , id imagine i had 30+ to many grams of lift under it as well I thought we established 2 strands in another conversation, but i guess not. I see he is still using one.we did , i happened to forget , and by the time i relized what i had done it was to late
