Thank you very much, Nunnu. Malta is certainly one of the pyro-places I'd love to visit sometime. You folks certainly have the passion for the art, with the main payoff simply being the satisfaction that comes from it. Happy Holidays. ned

Thanks !! Yes use Maltese manufacture some awesome shells :) In my opinion you are one of the best pyros here in youtube you make very good tutorials and shells !!

Very interesting. Just a very little bit gave a great crackle effect. Impressive.

correct me if im wrong but wont a mix that was made too wet then dried back down like this batech react a lot different than one slowly brought up to the stiff doe stage?? it will be much more nitrated

Dear Ned. thanks for this video.that is really nice work. could you tell us the ingreadients of Crackle composition? thx bro!

That NC is made with a particular method, described in detail on my website, Nunnu, and it is made from two simple components, double-based smokeless powder, such as Green Dot or Bullseye shotshell powder, and acetone. So if you do have access to those two ingredients, you'd be good to go. I love the Maltese shells and Irdieden.. Magnificent works of art. Best, ned

Your NC is so quality 👍

Hello, I'm Brazilian, and I did not understand what you used and said, I'm writing these questions on google. Did you want to pass me the recipe you used? Can you tell me what this black liquid you used?

I think where things went different is you used a large plastic salad bowl instead of a small stainless bowl. That probably had a lot to do with why yours was drying out quickly and you had to start scraping it off the sides. Stainless acts completely different than plastic when it comes to adhering to the material, (sides). Thanks for the video though, you have enlightened me with many different pyrotechnic projects. Keep doing what your doing cuz your making some awesome fireworks. Thanks for helping me learn more about it and entertaining me with your skills at the same time. Cheers and God Bless

Brilliant 👌👌

How do you make your nc lacquer

What's in your crackle mix?

Great vid. I have a couple of questions though!! what is the comp and what kind of NC lacquer are you using? the stuff I have is pretty much clear.I have made a couple of different CMS's with PBO4 and while they do crackle they are not as good as the ones you made (I have a vid of a fountain I made using some that I made on my channel)

Hey ned, can you pump crackle stars or do they have to be cut/screened? Thanks

@nedgorski

I've only cut or screen-sliced them, Hen. But I imagine they could be pumped with a 1/8" or 3/16" pump or plate.

And what was your dry ingredients

I don't go into lengthy details of formulas and processes on KZread, FD. There are various chemicals and formulas we play with, and lately we've been doing a lot of testing, with good results, of cheaper formulas using more readily available chemicals. Love the crackle.

I like the 1/8" cubic ones, BW, but smaller can work, too. I've not tried them in rocket motors, but do like to put them in comets and gerbs. Good luck. Stay safe when trying something new like that. I don't know how the stars would sensitize rocket propellant.

+houseoffire72 , HoF, homemade NC lacquer, made with smokeless powder, has ingredients that standard pyro-grade NC lacquer doesn't, and not only doesn't woodworking lacquer have those ingredients, but it has other "stuff" in it which makes it less than desirable for our pyro purposes. Crackle works with the lacquer made the way shown in the vid. Probably not with other lacquers. One sure way to find out, though. ned (and thanks for the pat on the back)

Pyro is the most satisfying hobby I have gotten into, other than WW2 reenacting. Definintly addicting, I started with a simple D1 glitter kit from skylighter, then moved on to 4oz rockets, then making every color and formula I can get my hands on went from having 5 different chemicals to about 40 in about a year. Figured out some good crackle comps, and just recently started making crossettes. All in two years. You know your in deep when you start hunting down Argo laundry starch and CMC for your blackmatch.
