Material Costs of Squat Canary and Flying Frog are based on T3 data, please confirm.

Stars are built in a Star Rack

Also see Pyrotechnics Guides and Portable Star Lab


For this table, please use the cost of producing a batch of TEN (10) Stars

Star Name Star Type Region Binder Salt Sulfur Charcoal Aluminum
Powder
Squat Canary ?? Common Cactus Sap (5) Aluminum (14) Sulfur (3) Charcoal (15) none
Flying Frog ?? Common Cactus Sap (18) Zinc (14) Sulfur (5) Charcoal (10) none
Silver Trail ?? Shabbat Ab Cactus Sap (?) ? Sulfur (?) Charcoal (?) ?

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.
