Star Ingredients

Stars are made in a Star Rack. Max Batch size is 100.

• All stars need a binder:
  • Beeswax - for Comet and Ball-type stars, which diffuse in 'pulses'.
  • Cactus Sap - for Comet, Ball, and Line-type stars, all of which diffuse in either pulses or as a straight line.
  • Clay - for 'popper' stars, which diffuse all in one burst at the end of their fire.
  • Tar - for 'sparkler' stars, which diffuse in sparks throughout their runs.
• All stars need some quantity of Sulfur and Charcoal.
• All stars need some variety of Metal Salts.
• Some stars also need Aluminum Powder.

For Star Type, please use one of the following:

• Pulsing - these have a strong glow on the first star, and usually leave a simple trail. There is considerable variability in the size of the star, and the length of the trail. The basic frog and canary designs are this type.
• Cone (comets) - Have a strong glow at the front, and diffuse into a short 'cone' shape.
• Bomb (poppers) - These are often hard to see, since they fly their lifetime unignited, and then explode at the end. Single poppers are useful as near-invisible platforms for delivering other stars, while showers of many poppers can be an impressive finale.
• Trail ("Thin Red Line") - Long thin trails of light, often used for spirals and geometric shapes.
• Sparkler - These are typically crowd favorites. They leave a shower of sparks as a trail, usually but not always in the same color as the head of the star.
