My 22th birthday celebration shells

Post by Redbullzuiper »

Hi everyone,

As promised, here by the topic about my birthday shells.

All shells were 3" Hemispheres.

Lift charge was 15 grams of well confined BP.

The break charge of each shell was 25 grams of slow flash.
In the ratio 6:3:1 (KNO3:Ai:S).

The star compositions are as following:

Veline's orange star:
KClO4 55
CaCO3 15
Parlon 15
Magnalium #200 6
Phenolic Resin 9

Veline's green star:
KClO4 30
Parlon 15
BaCO3 15
Ba(NO3)s 24
Magnalium #200 11
Phenolic Resin 9

Veline's blue star:
KClO4 55
CuO 16 (Added 1 gram, because I liked the blue more with 1 gram more)
Parlon 15
Magnalium 6
Phenolic Resin 9

And a C6 to Veline blue star.

As you notice I left out both the Red Gum and Dextrin. I substituted it with Phenolic Resin
which acts both as fuel and binder.

All stars were rolled, using the Phenolic as the binder and Alcohol as the solvent.

I also made an Salute cake. I however didn't film it as I though someone else did. But this wasn't the case. Its a real shame, because it was a real good and loud cake with 12 shots.

Flash composition used was, 67:33 (KClO4/Ai).
