Construction of a 3" Traditional Italo-American cylinder shell construction Part 1

[@BlisterHiker]

Good stuff. I like the simplicity and agree, people often complicate things too much where it doesn't make a lot of difference. Sometimes they add so much glue that the moisture affects compositions or time fuses. Thanks for sharing.

I usually use chip board that I buy from Wolter tools, but ran out . They are very thin chip board that I cut from A bundle of 12" x 12" I picked up, two of them pasted together is 1/16" thick and I always use two disc one before I pleat then another one over the pleat which works great.

How you make hard stars ,by roling them, Is that best way ? Whit what you start?

[@BuddyBoy272]

I use little beads you buy at craft stores, that you make necklaces out of. I roll my stars also press and cut ass well

Is it a dry rap?

[@matteo5577]

What do you use as Burst charge

[@BuddyBoy272]

Corned 2FA or 3 FA and sometimes A half gram of flash depending on how hard of a break I need for the type of star, but I spike mine really tight so most of the time don't need flash.

[@pyroguy1030]

For your discs what material do you use?

[@dk-pyro-bang6288]

Pretty sure is chipboard 😊

[@redwillow2189]

nice..

[@BuddyBoy272]

jo silvertail Thanks my friend.

[@matteo5577]

Where do you get the case former?

[@BuddyBoy272]

I made it out of pvc pipe, then built it up with construction paper to 2.5 inches, the construction paper was also cut to 3 inches in size that's how tall I want my shells to be so this way I can cut my kraft paper to 4 inches and wrap it around the 3 inch case former so I have a half inch on top and bottom for pleating.

[@aldos.6108]

what was the hieght of the roll of kraft paper?

[@BuddyBoy272]

I have the Fulcanelli paper back guide to building anywhere from a 3" shell to a complex 6" shell color shell and 7-timed reports, they suggest that a 3 " shell be 2.5" in height and so on like for a 4" the shell would be 3.5" tall, but the size of kraft paper I use is about 6" tall 24" long..

[@MIKEtheMAYER]

BuddyBoy272 i have been looking for a paperback Fulcanelli do you know the best way to acquire one?

[@aldos.6108]

MIKEtheMAYER you can purchase it at skylighter.com

[@MIKEtheMAYER]

thanks brotha i've been looking tho and the only mention of his name is in a pyrotechnica issue is there something i'm missing

[@aldos.6108]

You are not missing anything, the fucanelli papers are located in pyrotechnica ix and xi. They were not published by themselves

[@ramieltamayo9051]

Where is the stars

[@sjaalrits4776]

Is it not easier to do it with gleu

[@BuddyBoy272]

Do what with glue? The disc? You could but I really don't find a need for it. They perform well the way I make them as per fulcanelli papers. but have done it with glue in the beginning.

[@asdercks]

[@BuddyBoy272]

asdercks It is paper adhesive tape from Uhaul.
