That would be an interesting research topic. It would be a challenge to get consistent enough shavings to give repeatable results. My operating theory is that the shavings get blown into the hole and delay ignition of the delay in the drilled hole.Wow, I didn't expect that to be the case; thanks! And that gives another possible research project for anyone in HS/college: "Effect of delay propellant shavings on delay time in model rocketry". Thesis statement: Shavings left in a drilled delay decrease (or increase?) delay time due to <insert suspected reason>
Impress the teacher/prof by using the term "thesis statement." It's the specific hypothesis telling what shoulld happen, and why.
