insutama Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 can i use aluminum foil ground in a coffee grinder for glitter stars ? or should i buy some powdered aluminum off ebay ?
Mumbles Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Granular aluminum tends to work better for glitter stars. Basically every way you try to reduce the size of aluminum will result in some form of flake.
insutama Posted March 7, 2015 Author Posted March 7, 2015 ahh i c so best to just order some what size mesh should i get for glitter stars
psyco_1322 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 The formula should say what mess you need. It will likely be atomized Al, which is essentially a granular particle shape. You might look at someone that supplies for pyro, ebay chems can be hit or miss sometimes.

braddsn Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 What are you making specifically? You say Glitter, do you mean D-1? D-1 and N-1 glitter formulas need -325 mesh AL. Most formulas will specify, like Psyco mentioned.
psyco_1322 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Most glitters, if Al based, will probably be fine using that same Al.
