The last three devices I have set off didn't even damage the casing. BP packed with some stars in a film canister, all that happended these three times is the fuse burns down and then an explosion followed quickly by the stars flying out of the fuse hole, obviously the hole is made bigger but the canister doesn't even split. I'm gonna have to glue the fuse in next time I guess.

Anyways, after Christmas I'm gonna have loads of pics for my site and hope you will all enjoy

How can a star come out of a fuse hole? Unless the fuse hole is really damn big, or if the fuse hole gets eroded by the hot gas, I don't see it happening.

You just answered your own question...

Make the hole smaller, glue it in, reinforce the casing, especially around the hole, with tape. Or use something better than a film container.

so are you wanting the casing to be damaged or not? I dont want them to damage. Whenever i know i am going to make a mine, i always make a really tough tube, that way the tube doesnt damage that much, and i can use it over and over agian. A 1/8 inch thick tube with one end plugged with epoxy should last 3 or 4 explosions.

I said that obviously the fuse hole is made bigger by when the stars fly out. obviously the hole is made bigger So thanks EP and yeah I do want the casings to damage Nick, makes it all the more entertaining i think. Anyways I used a diffrent type of casing today and it worked a treat! Thanks everyone.
