Mephistos Minion Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Jungle, adding Dextrin will solve the problem I do belive. BP isn't a very good star as it burns fast with not all that impressive effect. Try using Tigertail: KNO3.............. 44Charcoal (pine) 44Sulpher........... 6Dextrin........... 6

Try using Tigertail: KNO3.............. 44Charcoal (pine) 44Sulpher........... 6Dextrin........... 6 Charcoal based stars are a bitch to roll, when i first rolled some tigertails my stars came out like raspberries. Stars with a lower content of charcoal are easier to roll. In my opinion atleast.
justanotherpyro Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Most definately PGF. TT are a bit hard to roll, especially before the proper technique is figured out. A great way to learn how to roll stars is to use flour. It rolls nice, and you don't waste chems in the learning process.
Mumbles Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 I hope this is no one from the forum: http://wcco.com/topstories/local_story_088235416.html They don't mention it there, but on a subscription only site, they say it is a mother, a father, and two sons. The sons are 15 and 19. $10 says it was homemade fireworks, and they were m-80's.
Pretty green flame Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 This is sad, but not in the sense that the family is going to get busted but in the sense that this is just more ammunition for the anti-fireworks campaign. People like this will ruin it all for you guys over there who enjoy real fireworks and are not kewls who bomb mail boxes and portable toilets. PS: I don't think it was anyone from APC here, i think most of us are smart enough to know what will get us in trouble. Atleast i hope it wasn't anyone from APC.
justanotherpyro Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Son of a bitch. I hate the fucking media. I'm with you mumbles. Probably a few m-80s misconstrued into U.S. terrorism.
BigBang Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Yeah, but there could have been some misc. HEs in there. I don't know of anyone here in Minn, although there must be a few. Hmm, so how many times has this happened? An article is posted about someone getting caught, killed, burnt, and we always sayb the same thing. We can all keep saying what we already know, but it is just that, we already know it. Yes it is a bad thing and alot of ammo ready to shoot our nards off, but what can we honestly do? We can track down every kewl/dumbass/tard that can screw us up. We must just face the fact, i we want to continue, we are going to have alot of trouble doing so. Go and donate to the firework foundation and keep us around a bit longer. And, just to make me sound even more credible( ) I was hit by a car yesterday. Some soccer mom was speeding through the parkinglot I was riding my bike in and ran me over. My tire went under her's and I was thrown. The bike is totalled, the rim is bent at a 90* angle. On the plus side only my sholder is sore and I got a new bike.
Mumbles Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 sue sue sue! hehe Get some chemical money. Claim pain and suffering, and mental anguish.
dragonman586 Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Reap vengeance on the psychotic soccer moms who steal away our rights. ON the topic of the article: This is just the bullshit PR that we need. People are pissed as it is at our awesome community. I wish there was some small country where it was warm all the time and we could practice our pyro freely. Hey has anyone seen V for Vendetta? It was such an awesome movie. If you havent go see it. It's one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.
Rogue Chemist Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Oh my yes...Best movie I have seen in a long time. I will actually PAY for it when it comes out on DVD
Mumbles Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 It really struck a chord with me. I actually had to explain to some of my friends after the movie who Guy Fawkes was, and how it was signifigant to the movie. One odd thing I saw, was in the subway car, the fertilizer said "100% nitrogen". I think 34% would have been a much better number. Nice how they randomly threw in some fireworks into the explosions.
dragonman586 Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 It was kinda cool how he made the "V" symbol with the ring shell and the comets when he destroyed the statue.
TheSidewinder Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Good god.... I'm from Minnesota. Faribault is about an hour south of the Twin Cities. I don't know the people involved, but they sound like extra castmembers from the movie "Deliverance". And it sounds like more than just M-80 type devices, given the mailbox bombings. But you're right, all the fucking Liberal whiners will use this as "proof" that the average citizen can't be trusted with anything. What fucking morons (media AND suspects)....... M
_Po_ Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Here's something to cheer you all up. George can make anything better. I really should stay away from the computer at 2am...Weird stuff is usually the result. MYy WEB CAGES
PyroJoe Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Po, you're animations are a perfect example of what is done while on ACID. haha, they get weirder with every one you make. Flash animations are fun though, maybe ill post some of mine sometime..
_Po_ Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 You're the third person to tell me about acid...Hahaha. Did I mention I made the music for it? Apart from the drums that is...I added the...sound to the beat though.
ULTRABUF Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 I just saw V for Vendetta last night. I really enjoyed it. It got me thinking about everything.
weknowpyro Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 that video is bloody weir d of geroge foreman even though i thought he looked like a lean green grilling machine
Mephistos Minion Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 I need to make an exploding cake. Not what kind of cake you are thinking, I am talking about an eating cake. I need to do one in Drama. I am thinking flash is too powerful/Burns too hot. So perpahs BP in thin casing to sort of porject the cake bits instead of blasting it to bits. Any Ideas?

_Po_ Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 I suppose if anyone that knows me sees this it won't really matter, but I wear that jacket every day to school and the hair is kind of hard to miss, so it wouldn't be hard to find me. Oh well, if anyone that important wanted to find me I'm sure they could easily and would have already. Hahaha, I just noticed Paranoid by Black Sabbath is playing... So then, who wants to see what came from a bit of my boredom this afternoon? I'm pleased with the result. Pretty much what I was going for. Some parts could do with some work, but nothing too severe. Catassin (as in Cat Assassin) I probably should add that "no animals were harmed" thing to the end of the movie, hahaha.
Pretty green flame Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 one of the more sick vids i saw today besides the one Po made, (Po's vids scare me, they give me nightmares) . Seriously Po, you have one heck of an imagination.
Pyrohawk Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Wow Po, is that really you?? Hehehe you need a haircut mate!
BigBang Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Po, I'm dissapointed. The best part about your movies is that they don't make sence but make tons at the same time. Tisk tisk And man, Your hair is longer than a bunch of girls at my school. Get a flat-top like me
