A certain major UK display company had to send all it's imported 3" shells back to China recently, because they were breaking at random heights...

well opened it up anyway, the propellant grain is black powder based no resin binder, weighing in at 23g( minus the clay nozzle)
interestingly enough i was expecting it to be a simple end burner, but indeed it had a core 40mm in depth, by 4mm dia, fused its full length
another interesting point was at the other end in which they had dispensed with the clay end-plug and the problem of engineering a pass-fire in to it in the production process, by using hard clay flakes mixed with the blackpowder,making in affect consumable end-plug, clever! anyways here's the pics so you can see what im bangin on about!

I would think the bp clay mix would act like a cheap and easy delay.

On pyroguide it does state that the Chinese commonly use clay mixes as delays

clever stuff indeed, a wonder how one would go about producing the clay flakes?

Instead of clay use sawdust, dried grass, or for the flakes of clay I assume they press blocks of clay and break them with a hammer. Maybe the clay is bound with wax to keep its form.
