Each set is precision machined from high tensile strength aircraft aluminum for strength and long life. Sets feature base with coring spindle, convergence cone forming nozzle ram, propellant ram(s) and bulkhead top (flashhole) forming ram. The nozzle ram forms the correct (convergence) angle to dispense pressure and each ram is drilled smaller than the previous to properly accept the spindle tapers. Knurled ends for removal. Each set includes complete instructions with "black powder" type fuel formulas. Case reinforcing sleeve not included. NEVER POUND WHISTLE MIX TO COMPRESS! ALWAYS USE A HYDRAULIC PRESS FOR CONSTANT PRESSURE WITHOUT THE 'SHOCK' OF HAMMERING!

Rocket Motor Tooling - End Burn Grains - Black Powder

As with the smaller version hobby store motors, these tool sets produce rocket motors that have longer burn durations than the core burning types. Each set is precision machined from carbon steel and 6061 aluminum stocks for long tool life. The higher density propellant grain (mandatory for proper chamber pressures during combustion) is formed by using a hydraulic press for adequate pressures. The base and spindle are machined from steel to withstand the high pressures exerted on them during the pressing operation.

Pump more than one at a time by placing paper discs between them when cutting the composition in the pan. Make comets and exploding stars by purchasing bases that fit the pumps as listed. Note: Actual diameters of pumped pellets are slightly smaller than diameters listed to allow sufficient clearance for use in roman candles, fountains, aerial flare devies or other tubes with ID's the same as those listed for the pellet pumps. Instructions and star formulae included.

Extra pellet pump bases - For trailing comets & exploding stars

These fit the pumps as listed above. The base forms a hollow core in each star. When dry, the cavity is filled 60-70% with flash powder and sealed with star mix or prime comp (exploding stars) or with a composition emitting showers of sparks as it combusts for comets. Instructions and star formulae included.

FIREFOX TABLETOP MATCHMAKING STAND

Now you can make your own ignition materials, Imitation ThermaliteTM, cord stars and strobes, sparklers and color light sticks, quickmatch, blackmatch, thermic fuse and color / spark inserts for fountains, salutes, aerial shells and mines. Using Gary Purrington’s “Pull-Coating” method and this simple inexpensive stand, you can make 300 to 400 feet per hour ready for use in just a couple of hours instead of days and the finished cord is fully weather resistant! 100 grams of composition makes approx 140 ft of 3/32” or 60 ft of 5/32”. That’s just 2-3 cents per foot! Comes with metal stand that is “C” clamped (clamp not included) to the workbench that supports various size plastic bottles with sizing tip caps (2oz, 4oz and 8oz included), a bottle mount and a detailed instruction booklet with formulations for 8 binder solutions, two formulations for Imitation Thermalite (slow & medium), blackmatch and quickmatch. The booklet explains how to make Pull-Coated match using spools of 100% mercerized cotton crochet string (#10, #20, #30) available at Wall-Mart and other sewing & crochet stock suppliers. Two to four strings are drawn through the bottle containing the slurry and through a sizing tip to final size the match. It is then hung to dry and cut into the appropriate lengths for use. Make 300 to 400 feet of coated “cord” (match) per hour in diameters ranging from 1/16” to 3/8”. Make continuous lengths of match by supporting it on a wire frame.
