They seem to have about the same fire retardedness as normal wadding, maybe more.


Buy sheet crepe paper at the party supplies area of department stores. Very cheap.

That is all I have ever used since that is what Centuri used in my first starter set. And that was the ONLY rocket company supplied wadding I ever used: that supplied with my starter set. When I realized the ‘wadding’ supplied in my Screaming Eagle starter set was just plain crepe paper cut into roughly 3” x 4” squares, I went and bought a package of the sheet crepe paper and started cutting my own. Never bought any wadding from Centuri or Estes over the years. Have flow ‘model’ rockets with crepe paper wadding for 46 years.
