PyroAce Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Is there any way to stop flashpowder from clumping after you ball mill it? Every time I mill the flashpowder it seems to clump up, I mill it for around 4 hours, is this too long? I know the aluminum and chlorate are good quality because the mixture lights really good and makes good salutes, just want to avoid the clumping. 2

Voryon Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 As Realgar is hard to find these days, I'd recommend Red Phosphorous as anti caking.... This thread made my day! 4
PyroAce Posted April 2, 2019 Author Posted April 2, 2019 Indeed Ubehage was onto it! I couldn't resist a good old April fools joke 3
gusgus386 Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 That is either, A.) the best April Fools joke I have ever heard, or B.) The absolute worst. I work EMS and with the stupidity I see someone somewhere would believe it. 2
BlueComet24 Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 Hey guys, let's not post "April fools jokes" which can get people killed! Some kid may read this thread and try milling flash and lose limbs or their life. 5

Some kid may read this thread and try milling flash and lose limbs or their life. Fair call, but reading the thread they would discover it is in fact April fools and also no one here would seriously encourage something like this, and I have seen a number of members getting told off for posting dangerous questions.
braddsn Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 I have to admit, this one got me at first... haha... but realizing that it had not been quickly removed gave me a clue that something was amiss. 2
Maximo Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Do I have to mill dark Al the start or can I purchase regular 5 micron Al and then mill it 95\5
