crazyboy25 Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 i just tried to make a 70:30 potassium perchlorate magnalium flash powder. all it did was burn relativly fast and extremly bright with lots of smoke (no flash powder however) i am not sure what i am doing wrong i am using 300 mesh magnalium and Spanish, super fine powder (high purity) potassium perchlorate. i mixed them very well. am i doing somthing wrong? mrom what i have read this si suposed to be a VERY powerful mixture.
aquaman Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 What do you mean? From the sound of it you have flash powder. Are you meaning that it didn't go bang unconfined? Alot of the flash powders don't. Also I don't believe this needed a whole new thread. Next time try an old flash thread or the Random thread.
al93535 Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 This did NOT require its own special thread. Please do not start any other threads. Your 300 mesh mgal is not fine enough to make a good flash powder unless confined. If you have to use it, mix it better, use 3+ grams and confine it well. Locked.
