Thought I'd do a little write up of last night with the forum being a bit slow.
We went to a friends house last night to let the new year in and everyone asked me to sort a small display, yesterday afternoon (talk about short notice). Well I had about a dozen decent consumer fireworks in stock but no rockets.
On my hands and knees,head to the back of the pyro cupboard, arse stickin' out, muttering "I know I've got some somewhere". Aha gotya, a ziplock bag with silica gel and 8 rocket motors.
The only thing I had for headers was 16 homemade 3" hemi's.
Then I went for the stars, Damn, barely enough for 3 headers, just yellow and blue left.
I had no choice but to make some flash for the remaining 5, I'm going to end 2013 with a bang.
No pasting today I thought, so out came the masking tape and duck tape.
I had plenty of bp coated buddleia husks for the break.
Now then, how much flash shall I make. I concluded on a 15 gram baggy for each. 
. 10 grams makes me sweat.
75 grams it is then, it felt like forever mixing that little lot.
Masking tape for the star shells and 4 layers of very sticky duck tape for the flash shells.
Headers and sticks hot glued on, fused together and loaded into their launch tubes.
Wow, just enough time for a shower and we're off.
The consumers were ok, the star shells were ok, but the flash shells, well talk about rattling windows. The ground shook and they thumped you right in the chest.
We stayed for another half hour and all the talk was about them there bangs.
I will be making some more of them.
