That's exactly why I am asking this question. They will be fired electronically from a safe distance. Does schedule 40 PVC hold up to the lighter lift charges used with small comets?

I know PVC is not recommended for use in mortars for firing shells. Has any one made mortars from PVC for firing 0.75 to 1.25 inch comets. PVC pipe and wooden dowels are readily available for making...
Look at it this way.....you're lucky you didn't have them in the back of your truck!
I used your design to make an 8 slice holder. However, I used furring strips as dividers. They are 1.75" apart and only 3" high. I'm new to firing splices, and don't know how much they "jump around",...
Thought I replied earlier but don't see my post. I'm planning on using reusable HDPE mortars and fusing from the top. I believe you both are talking about bottom fusing (similar to Dominator slices)....
I would like 7 mortars in a rack to fire simultaneously, without using 7 e-matches, similar to how dominator "slices" work. The idea is to have 7 2" comets or mines fire at the same time. Anyone here...
Welcome Gary. Looking forward to your videos. Sounds like we have a lot in common.....and age!
If you are still interested, I have a reprogramer that I bought and never used that I would sell for $75. I'm not computer savy and Scott is not that far away from me.

It sounds to me the ATF would be very happy with that setup. The fact that you've got a security system is a real plus. Good luck and make sure all interior metal is covered with epoxy, silicone, or...
I agree with Joe on a 2" bottom board for 4inch and up, preferably roughcut. Plywood is fine for the sides.
I've never seen visco on finale chains! What brand are you using? I see today some chains burn faster and some burn slower than 5 years ago. The gray 5 strand version made with perchlorate is pretty...
I'd just like to say a small wireless system is ideal to use as a "safety" for your finale. Rather than going at it with a torch and risking it starting up again in your face, you can safely...
Don't want to mail any but I'll try to get a couple close ups of it when it stops raining!!
That does not look like any ignitor cord I have ever seen. It is a woven type of fuse, not encased in plastic as in the picture and came in at least three speeds. It also did not have a visible...
It's shock tubing....plastic tubing that has a light coating of PETN (a very fast high explosive) inside it. Usually initiated by a shotgun shell primer type gizmo. It takes the place of electricity...
I watched it a couple months ago. A very touching story that not only had incredible daytime smoke shells and effects matched to a sound track that made it almost surreal, but also told the 20 year...
Practice, practice, practice. Why "no break at all"? Develop basic shell building skills where you can get a shell into the air the proper altitude and burst and have your stars light and not hit the...
Only thing you left out is the cost of the lawyer to bail (or at least try) your sorry ass out of jail!!!
I've been a member of Ned's site since its inception, and cannot speak highly enough about it for ANYONE that is interested in manufacturing fireworks....whether experienced or just starting out. Its...
Sorry, I haven't been on the site in awhile. I work for Chris and Augie Jr. Santore, who recently took over the Alonzo operation near Albany. I started working for Alonzo's back in 1983. What company...
Nice show. Timing was good. What was the $ value of the show?
Contact Jeff Ward, the general manager, at 664-9994.
Seems like an overly complicated formula. A simple 70/30 mix of potassium perchlorate/dark aluminum would work just fine in small-large salutes. You can add sawdust/rice hulls/ bran or whatever as a...
I'm partial to the Cobra unit. 18 cues will fire a lot of fireworks if you connect your shells with timers ie. 5 shells to a "chain" separated by 3 second timers. I am not familiar with the Monoose...
User and Chris, You should check out Santores World Famous Fireworks in Stillwater. They are always looking for shooters and do lots of shows in the Albany/Saratoga areas. How old are you?
