Welp..

Finally got my first batch of eggs done. It was a very small
batch..prob about 2 tablespoons worth of wet mix.

First off, I added to much laquer...was a soupy sludge..kinda messy.
Second, I did not thin it out with acetone ...now I gotta somehow
clean out my 8 mesh screen..its rock solid. I think I will thin out
the laquer on my next test batch.

I used a 81.8/9.1/9.1 Trioxide recipe.


Well..since it was soupy, I had to wait awhile befire it started to
thicken up, thats when I pushed it thru the screen...eww..messy.

I tried a few wet samples...they went pop...was amzuing, but the
finaly product was very hard to light. Methinks this is because of the
non-thinned laquer and using way to much of the stuff.

I'll try another batch tonight and hope for the best....

Gonna try a 75/15/10 recipe this time to see what diff it makes.

I wouldn't try putting it through a screen. It's a little hassle cutting them because they're so small, but actually easier than cutting larger stars for me. Just make a very thin cake and cut into small cubes with a thin knife edge like a safety razor blade or X-acto knife.
