stix Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I thought I would have a go at Ken Kosanke's Titanium Streamer: 64 Potassium Nitrate13 Charcoal (AF) 9 Sulfur 9 Ti (Sponge 40-60 mesh) 5 Dextrin My question is, should I use a reactive charcoal like paulownia, or a more "sparky" type - like I would use for TT? Also I've read that Ti comps shouldn't be rammed, but pressed. I was surprised that Ti could "spark" as in a collision sense. For some reason I had it in the back of my mind and assumed that Ti was similar to Al, in that it was non- ferrous. I checked it with a magnet and realised the truth!
Col Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 spherical Ti is ok, a sponge structure tends to collapse with a crunching sound . As its a streamer i`d say you dont want the charcoal to be too reactive.
dynomike1 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Air float. Have you tried Blessers Blonde Streamer?

Cheers dyno, unfortunately I don't have any FeTi.
Col Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 If you press anything with a fair percentage of Ti sponge you can hear it crunch sometimes. I only use sponge with BP, spherical with whistle.
