Algenco Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 ok thanks, didn't know it was also called Gold Wave
dagabu Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Frankly, I have no idea whatsoever if it is correct, I would like to see what it does for you though Nishiki Kamuro can be a lot of different effects, the Kamuro is the haircut look of the stars as they drop, Nishiki Kamuro is just Japanese for Brocade Crown.

All I know is they shell I saw was beautiful!
dagabu Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 HEY!! You are the guy that wants a uber brocade shell Imagine, building up 1/2" of pasted paper to contain the shell.... by hand.
davis050594 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 You gotta make a red strobing pistil!!!! It looks amazing. Dagabu, that's why they made the wasp. It's not like they're that expensive
Xtreme Pyro Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Imagine, building up 1/2" of pasted paper to contain the shell.... by hand. HELL NO!! I remember hearing somewhere it takes over a mile of gummed paper tape to paste a 12" shell with the WASP, seems a little nuts but I almost believe it.

davis050594 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 you build it I'll paste it..by hand.... with pasted kraft..the old fashion way Haha wheat paste that sumb*tch
dagabu Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 you build it I'll paste it..by hand.... with pasted kraft..the old fashion way You are on! I actually was offered a 12" case by a pyro buddy a few months ago, he still has it. I want a time lapse of you pasting that sucker. And I wnat audio too, only of the cussing and spitting though.
Updup Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 HELL NO!! I remember hearing somewhere it takes over a mile of gummed paper tape to paste a 12" shell with the WASP, seems a little nuts but I almost believe it. Not quite, 63,360 inchs in a mile, and a 12 inch takes about 12,000, so about 1/5 of a mile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHlgXUOIO-M
Algenco Posted December 26, 2010 Author Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) Is that all?I'll do that in a day with my wheat paste coated kraft And mine will look much nicer Edited December 26, 2010 by Algenco
Seymour Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 wheat paste coated kraft Posted Image And mine will look much nicer I agree, I definitely appreciate hand pasting (although I'd probably be converted to a Wasp as soon as I had one). I have seen one and they are neat, and I've also seen examples of perfect bursts with large shells making them. I would not do it in a day though! I'd do five layers per day until it's done, otherwise the inner layers would be driven in! I'll paste threes in a sitting, fours in two and sixes in three. Pasted goods just look so nice!
Algenco Posted December 26, 2010 Author Posted December 26, 2010 yep, I wouldn't rush it, I normally do 4-5 layers let it dry a bit, burnish,...but then I have nothing but time, if I started early AM, hmmm
Mumbles Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 12000 inches is only 1000 feet, which seems like a big underestimate. 17 layers is also pretty low for a 12" shell. It should probably be up around 30ish.
abbykarim Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 hi guys, im a firework virgin and im about to make my first fire work. its kinda tough cause im from trinidad in the caribbean and our laws are real shity, chemicals are very restricted and books and resources are almost forbidden......so i have been trying to learn all that i can over a year now. reading and watching videos on you tube. i still havent done it yet. i have a few hangups. ive never been able to get all the good formulas at one location, but this forum helps so much. i havent fully understood how to make hot ignitor prime and when it should be used. how is bp with parlon combined, and the use and making of boosters......can any one show me ling to those on this forum?
pyrokid Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I can't think of any instances of BP being combined with parlon. What are you referring to? Boosters are less complex than they sound. They are a faster burning composition that is used to "boost" the strength of the break charge. In some cases it is an expedient method used to circumvent traditional techniques. This means that they can be done without. One word of caution, many booster comps are sensitive and very fast burning, a dangerous combination. For first shells, hot black powder is all you need. A booster, such as flash powder or whistle, is put near the center of the shell, with the rest of the break charge. Hot igniter prime is used to ignite particularly stubborn stars. That is, stars that don't ignite easily. There are a couple common formulas for this purpose, and you can pick the one that matches best with the chemicals available to you.

abbykarim Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I can't think of any instances of BP being combined with parlon. What are you referring to? Is Trinidad an island paradise?i saw that in the formula list for this page....i'll try to tag it but im still trying to figure out how to do those options on my i pad. as for the island paradise....you got that right....lol
