Mortartube Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Along with traditional stars, you can make hummers and farfalle. No comp drying time involved with those. You can also make some very small flash units to go in the headers of your rockets. Edited December 23, 2013 by Mortartube

Col Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 With only a week or so to go, parlon stars bound with acetone would be quickest. Brilliant red, brilliant green and Pihko kp blue #2 are nice and bright.Delay mix for a rocket can be as easy as adding 10% more charcoal to the fuel to slow it down.
shouldnoteatindat Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 those sticks you can get say a bamboo skewer from your local store or also the will have sticks that will work at a garden store say agway
Col Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 The cheapest option is to rip some timber on a bandsaw (or table saw), hard to beat 6p for a 3ft x 8mm x 8mm stick.
