Hi,
What is the ideal size for colored star in 1,2-inch (30 mm) cylinder shells?
The burst look sparse and the stars will burn too long, when using 1/4-inch colored stars pressed with Wolter Pyro's star board. Only 25 to 30 pieces of 1/4" stars go in a 1,2-inch shell !
I hand press my COLORED STARS using a STAR BOARD. I use barium chlorate and potassium chlorate for my stars, because potassium perchlorate stars burn to slowly.
QUESTION: So, what will be the ideal size? 3⁄16" (4.8 mm) or even smaller 9⁄64 (3.6 mm) ?
Thanks,
Philipp
