Lift cup & shell design tips

Anyone have tips on how I can make my lift cups more visually appealing, I feel like it kinda makes my shell look stupid and a little janky. I have a somewhat cone shape here that I secure with hot glue and cover with tape. If anyone has suggestions for how I can make ball shells look cleaner and more professional please LMK

3” ball shell build demo

Used standard C6 with a little 80-325Mesh Aluminum added to see what would happen. 15% burst with ERC granulated at 16 mesh. Not too happy with the break but happy it got off the ground

Star/burst rolling settup

It’s a 5qt paint bucket with the handle cut off, then it’s just 2 washers, a nut, and a long bolt for the shaft. All I do is put it onto a drill.

My process for making burst

I had someone ask for the Process so figured I’d make a quick video. I do a lot of eyeballing when I make burst but for the most part it works great and I haven’t had any problems with it. I use rice puff cereal in place of hulls

Question about shell inserts and storage

I’m in the process of building a 3” shell with Salute inserts, Im not planning on lighting it until a week after it’s completed but I’m pretty hesitant about storing flash, I keep everything in fireproof airtight containers so maybe I’m overthinking it but I want to know how safe it is. For the salutes I’m Thinking of either using a 50/40/10 KNO3/MgAl/S or standard 70/30 Perc/Al. I’ve heard moisture and nitrate flash never age well but I’ve also heard that Perc/Al is much more sensitive. I usually stick to Black powder and stars kinda builds and even though I’ve worked with flash a few times before, I still don’t have a ton of experience with it and want to see what yall would have to say. Any help is appreciated-thanks

Shell inserts and storage

I’m in the process of building a 3” shell with 6 Salute inserts and C6 Ti star rings.
