ronmoper76 Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) Does anybody have recommendations on where i could source quality 1.50/6" tubes that would be strong enough for Double voice crackers? I can find 3 pound rocket tubes everywhere but not 6? https://www.pyrodirect.com/10pc-1-50-id-x-7-yellow-red-and-maroon-kraft-tube.html?category_id=660 What about these,do you think they could be made to work?Maybe a few wraps of duct tape on the black powder side to strengthen it just enough?

davidh Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Those are crazy expensive tubes. I'll bet they're $7+ each after shipping. For your purposes I would find a source of chipboard and roll my own. Roll them as thick as you want.

davidh Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 Here's a price to beat as a starting point (as in don't pay more than this). The shipping can be really high, so it pays to find a local paper output and pick it up directly.https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-6419/Corrugated-Pads/26-x-38-Chipboard-Pads-022-thick

ronmoper76 Posted April 3, 2021 Author Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) I know firefox has 1 1/2" ID X 24" LONG X 1/8" WALL tubes, spiral wound.It's under http://www.firefox-fx.com/paper.htm product number: T112UCRI never set a account up with firefox yet,its a bit of a pain. They come out to about $1 a piece before shipping which is still way better than woody's prices though.... I like him and order a lot of things there,but that's to salty for my blood. I have some ideas of using a material other than cardboard after combing the web for hours and looking at specs....Its not ideal but it should work for my own entertainment and purposes as long as a proper safe distance is maintained. It's looking like large strong tubes are disappearing off the market,They get harder and harder to find,and it drives up the price at the very few suppliers we have left. There used to be so many suppliers out there 20 years ago Edited April 3, 2021 by ronmoper76
