In this Tech Talk Mike Gerson of Skylighter will be showing us how to make red rubber stars using the screen sliced method. These brilliantly burning stars can be made from scratch and ready to shoot in 3 hours or less. Parlon bound stars, such as these, are made by wetting certain compositions with acetone, massaged into a dough, then pressed through a large mesh screen rendering stars of relative consistent size and shape. You can even test burn these stars before they are dry. No other method for making fireworks stars is this fast. We will also show how to prime these star after they have dried.
