Ferro-aluminum

[Maserface]

Seems im too new to the hobby to have ever got to play with ferro-aluminum alloy, anyone know where to get the stuff? anyone willing to part with some?

I've heard that it is rapidly oxidized...

Your best bet for a small quantity of it might be to request a sample from a producer like Reade.

 

This is a formula I picked up a while ago from Rich Odgen on passfire.

Here's one from my database. I haven't tried it, so use at your own risk.

Called FeAl Glitter

Potassium Nitrate 48
Barium Nitrate 10
Sulfur 16
AF Charcoal 11
FeAl, 200 mesh 10
Dextrin 5

Supposed to give a 2-color glitter (orange/cream white). Increasing the FeAl to 20 parts reportedly givs a "true" glitter.

Good luck!
