2 Days before my first Dual Deployment Attempt, and I'm playing with Pyrodex Ejection charges (I'm 19, so I can't get BP. Curses...) and I made the discovery that containment helps it burn. So I decided to contain in CPVC pipe hot-glued in both ends...
Needless to say my brand new, never flown hot rod Buffalo DD Suffered 99 problems, and a breach was one.

Of course this is the attempt I had my parents watch. The nosecone didn't even budge....
Containment yes, encapsulation, no. You basically made a firecracker. Container with pyrodex, some cellulose packed down onto it, sealed up with a few strips of masking tape- that's all you need.
