I would greatly appreciate it if someone could share the recommended star size for square cut stars in 3" ball shells. (Length and width)

1/4" color.

5/16-3/8" fast streamer types.

 

Is the general guideline.

What is the width for the color as in thickness? Or does it not matter as long as it is 1/4" x 1/4" .

The Skylighter website has a nice table of information for shell making. I tried to post it here but for some reason the formatting gets dropped when I post it. Look on skylighter.com under firework making information ---> fireworks tables. When they state 1/4" or 3/8" stars they mean a cube of equal dimensions on all sides

If you think about the way a star burns, outside in, the burn time is determined by the smallest dimension. So a 1/4"x1/4" and a 3"x1/4" star will burn for the same duration.
