First Attempts - Thoughts

24 April 2008 - 11:49 AM

Heres a few of my first attempts at shells and starmines, tell me what you think and how i can improve:

D1 Starmine: http://homepage.ntlw...terstarmine.MOV

C8 Shell: http://homepage.ntlw...ve/c6 shell.mov

D1 Shell: http://homepage.ntlw...ove/d1shell.avi (Need DivX Codec)

Both shells were 6/8" OD and about 1 1/2" long. Flying fish fuse for the fuse.

I thought they came out pretty well, quite symetrical break. Both shells were filled with granulated bp and stars together in the main cavity of the shell, no burst charge/bag was used as such. Both were spiked using cotton string.

Comments and constructive criticism welcome.

Hi, ive been a long time reader of this forum but never posted.

But i have a question regarding boric acid and borax. Is it possible to obtain boric acid from the common household Borax (Dri-Pak) brand. I have tried to research this but found no helpful information.

thanks
