New fibreglass ones are less than £5 retail - think this guy is taking the P*** for used cardboard ones...

[Karl Mitchell-Shead]

£5 isnt too bad for three, ideal for an amateur.

owww, where can i get the fiber glass ones.

checked out the tubes on ebay, he also has some 3" but there only 4mm walls. doesnt seem enough.

[Karl Mitchell-Shead]

Definately not for a 3" shell but would do for preloaded mines

i've been making 1" mines and they take olot of work. 3" must take ages.

And if you know where to look a 2" fiberglass is less than £3.

By the way the tubes he is selling are not mortar tubes. From the look of it they are tubes from a spent 50mm cat 4 cake of some description.

Assembling a 3" mine takes minutes to do... Yes, all fireworks are labour intensive to make, but mines are less so than almost all others. Perhaps you need to refine your techniques to get more efficiency.

in that case I'm thinking your right. i have been using a modular approach. with ramming BP at the bottom of 1"x2.5" tubes adding lift, paper disc and effect.

these are then glued together and wrapped in kraft paper. basically assemble the modules according to the effect i want.

what quicker why would you suggest.

I think your quite right there D, you can see the burn mark around the fuse hole.

P.S. Are you selling the tubes Chief?

CCH Concepts..Two words 'Bag-Mines' Very easy, search the forum

[Karl Mitchell-Shead]

Yes, got shed loads of them. Seems deceitful now perhaps mentioning would have been better.

Just trying a quick money making fling in true Trotters Independant Trading fashion
They are stripped down Cat4 Shellcakes, the tubes are good aimed really at the amateur with few options.

Already had a few sales. Seems bunged tubes of this calibre for this purpose are for one quite costly but hard for the amateur to find.
Different tale for people 'in the know' i use Fibreglass personally.

Im going to mention in the listing what they come from.

The 3" tubes can be used for anything.

I'm going build a stash of 3" cremora's
