as a new member i think the trial period would be good but as i mentioned im a new member and i wonder if i would have to go threw the trial member stage then be upgraded to a full member. also the verifying intent seems reasonable to me and mumbles what site to you run im interested thanks rodney

p.s. im just worried about being put into a different section tell i would be upgraded and then miss out on new topics that could be old by the time it takes for me to be upgraded either way i will still be here in the end

the wood hardener was jst what i was told awhile back im still pretty young compared to must shell builders im only 24 and i think im the only one who has a interest in making shells and whats weird is im in the same state that firefox is in idaho so i try to get all the chems. i can from there so i can just pick it up when i got towards that way. i havent built a shell yet but im doing alot of research so i can get it as close to right the first time i relize i will have to tune it but thats part of the game. i want to make sure my stars and lift and burst are all up to par before making the shell. also what whistle mix formula do you guys recomend for shells to help with burst. also when i hear gum tape i think of the packing tape thats kraft with the gum side you wet with a sponge is this right or am i wrong. its what i used for making small rocket casings. if im wrong with the gum tape someone please tell me what it is so i get it right. i dont want to use the wrong materials and pos. hurt myself or others. i will either use quickmatch or just e-match igniters. i have a small 6 channel capacitor discharge system i se to fire with. i just hope im on the right track. my ignitors are nicrome with cat 5 and a bp /mag. base bonded with nc laq. there very hot and fire every time i use them for high power rocketry. i got cert. finally. well i hope this site can guide me and help me become a very good shell builder. and if anyone is in idaho usa please get in contact with me i would love to have a mentor that knows what hes doing. well so far this site is great and alot of info. i spent 3 hours just reading this 66 pages of this thread and it was well worth it. anyone recomend a first shell size to build im thinking a round shell and 3 or 4 inch to start with once im there and all my lift,stars and burst are up to par. thanks to all who respond and be safe rodney
