do strobe mixtures get affected by too much moisture?

hello,

 

i recently made some strobe pots but they didnt strobe really. I used the bleser white strobe http://pyrodata.com/compositions/Bleser-White-strobe and made 3 strobe pots with 50g each. In every pot i used another mgal size to test how the frequency would change. (100 μm, 75-150μm and 200-400μm) But none of them did really strobe, they only burned white, and you could hear a little flicker sound, but all 3 burned the same, even if different mgal sizes were used...

I made the composition really wet so it was nearly a liquid i could pour into my strobe pot tubes. Could this be the reason? Do you think it could work better if i use only a little amount of water? Or what could be the reason they didnt strobe?

I've never made strobe pots that were water-bound. Mine have always been NC/solvent bound. 'Can't help you on the water issue in this case.

It might be the amount of water you added. I've always just wetted the comp into a stiff dough and pressed them into tubes or paper cups.

 

Is it possible they're not dry yet?
