The last video was probably a thin tube with unstoichiometric ratios.

More smoke density will mean a faster burn time (more mix burns per second) to produce more smoke which means shorter burn duration.

 

You must find the balance where smoke output is dense but dye is not burnt or overoxidized and it burns for a decent time period.

You should probably stop holding them. They do have the capability to explode.

Why the explosion ? Ty

They are still pyrotechnics and you're obviously inexperienced. Even when made properly by an experienced individual, If they ever clog or find a crack they are capable of exploding. If you're smart, you'd stop picking them up while they're functioning.

Can check which types of colors can be used

Does anyone know which colors can be used and what they can. Can oxide paint in powder for concrete be used ?

Posted

All my reading tells me that the organic dye/ sublimation method is the only way to make colored smokes.

Posted

Can anyone write which colors can be used ?

Here's a link to a company that sells o the military and pro pyros:

Try searching organic pyrotechnic dyes in your country to get actual sellers.

I doubt that they are shipping for my country. But I'll try ty
