Pressed stars

When a hydraulic press is used, only a very small amount 

When a composition which contains too much water or solvent is pressed under a high pressure, the water or solvent is squeezed out, and the pressed composition cracks perpendicularly to its axis. Therefore the amount of the water or solvent must be suited to the pressure. 

In the USA mixture of linseed oil and castor oil in ratio 1 1 is often used as a binding agent using 3-4% of a composition. When we use polyester as the binding agent at high pressure an amount as small as 

2-4 does well. At low pressure the amount may be increased in place of other fuel in the composition, but too much causes shrinking and heat generation in a star of large diameter. Many substances disturb the catalytic action of the catalyzer and consequently the consolidation (Table 16). 

As a mould for high pressure we generally use a cylinder and plunger for rather short stars, but for longer stars a split mould, which is described in 14.3.

If a quantity of pressed stars of the same kind are stood upright on a bench,errors in the amount of composition may be seen at a glance by comparing the height of the stars.
