Niladmirari Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Ruby red ignited without prime? Nice comet! What type of metal?
dan999ification Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 There is al In the prime, adding ti to the star also helps ignition. Nice shells and vids George, gotta make some big comets, with core Dan.
pyrogeorge Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 Ruby red ignited without prime? Nice comet! What type of metal?The prime is BP + bright silver Al.That's why the silver colour of the stars.As for the comet,i used the same Al.Here is the composition.Degn Silver Comet.Potassium Perchlorate 10 Aluminum, flake, bright. -325 mesh, 36 micron 7 Barium Nitrate 2 Shellac 1The prime is slurry Bp with granulated bp.There is al In the prime, adding ti to the star also helps ignition. Nice shells and vids George, gotta make some big comets, with core Dan.Thanks dan!.I will try it I have some 4" and some 3" ready for firing now. Really liked that comet. Nice shells too. Thanks!
dangerousamateur Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Very nice What kind of Ti did you use in the Red?Must be very fine?
pyrogeorge Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 Thanks!Very nice What kind of Ti did you use in the Red?Must be very fine?I used Ti sponge but i don't remember the mesh size,but not fine.Maybe 20#.
burningRNX Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 That ruby + Ti is a nice one, I like the idea to add Ti to a collor composition, it brings depth to the break, I've had lots of peony's that looked sparse or lonely, adding Ti would have prevented that.
asdercks Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I wouldn't add titanium to blue stars as it may cause them to look whitish. but it sure looks great on red compositions
leedrill Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 george may i ask what the white flash was in the ruby red shell did the booster go off after the break i cant figure it out
pyrogeorge Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 Good question leedrill.I saw that flash and it is strange because the flash not ignited inside the shell or another reason maybe caused by the prime of stars.It was BP+ Al 325#.
