How To Build Fireworks Enclosures

By Gabriel Mihalache


When it comes to fireworks, my guidance to work with professional ingredients. This also applies when it comes to fireworks enclosures. Needless to say that people can improvise by using plastic bottles however, we can go into the danger zone as we won't have control. And having control is very important in the case of making fireworks.

What we may use as enclosure? Let's find out:

Paper tubes:

The paper tubes are cylindrical enclosures made out of paper or cardboard. Most come in different measures, having different lengths as well as wall thickness. The sort of paper tube is selected depending on fireworks chemical that we use and also the amount of this chemical. I purchase my personal tubes from pyrocreations.

They've now have many different sizes of tubes. You have your selection of spiral wound or details in your color choice of red, silver or natural Kraft on select measures. Usual or ultra heavy walls can be obtained. You need to realize that all their own tubes are weighed on very accurate electronic weighing scales, not counted. So you might be one or two above or beneath. Counting every one by hand would definitely take a long time.

Plastic shells:

The plastic shells are available in different shapes and sizes. The fuse hole also can may vary in diameter. Both the half of the plastic shell can easily join. In this manner we obtain a shell which can resist humidity.

Paper shells:

Similar to the plastic shells, the paper shells are available in different styles and sizes. The majority of them don't come with holes for fuse however those could be easily drilled.

You should use some gummed tape to keep the 2 half of a shell together.

For the majority of my fireworks I take advantage of paper shells due to the fact that are definitely more practical. Usually I put smaller shells inside a bigger one.

There were moments when I didn't have a large enough plastic shell and I had to make myself one.
