Maserface Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Ive used lampblack and a variety of mesh sizes of charcoal for the rising effect and I love it, ive made some stars, rolled my first batch a week ago, ive cut some stars but rolling seems like the way to go
Zerohour Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 Ya for sure man. Rolled stars are pretty cool. I've salvaged a few from some commercial shells, but thats it.I just haven't got around to build a roller. As of now I just don't make enough stars to justify a roller. What do you use for cores? I like the look of those cylinder pressed stars too.
Maserface Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 I used mustard seeds as cores, just an old corded drill and a 5gallon bucket, not very ideal and actually a pain most of the time but for now it works I guess. ya, id love to have a 3/4 or 1" multi type star plate, just want to get my rockets in the air right now though.
Zerohour Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 I hear ya. My new desire is to make some P blue. I need CUO though. I hate to buy it by itself because of the $20 shipping, so I guess I'll wait until I've got some more chems to order with it to reduce the shipping cost per lb
Maserface Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Going to pick up some CUO tomorrow. I am STOKED for the rendezvous
Zerohour Posted October 8, 2013 Author Posted October 8, 2013 Me too! If it works for you I could head up your way sometime in the next week and pick them up. I want to get some stars made and dried in time for the rocketdezvous If it doesn't work for you I'll just wait until the shoot. I've got a bunch of TT's I can use.
Maserface Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Im coming to logan wednesday, maybe anytime in the day but for sure like by 6 or 7pm. do you want any class C ??
Zerohour Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 Cool man. tomorrow is my late day and I've got classes from 3-7pm. I'll be free anytime before or after those hours. I'm good on the class C, but thanks. I'm gonna hold out for the group buy and save some dough if you know what I mean.
