Umphrey Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 A little more information would be useful. Are you using anhydrous calcium sulfate?
Flash Salute Posted April 28, 2007 Author Posted April 28, 2007 A little more information would be useful. Are you using anhydrous calcium sulfate? Yeah ! I know its better to dry the anhydrous calcium sulphate in the oven, but the sulphate smell all around my house, but my calcium sulphate work pretty nice because i put the compound in a airtight container
CrazyIsraeli Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Pretty!Put some Aluvera on your hand for a couple of days.
Polumna Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Hi all I have made some Caso4/Mg flashpowder, too.Here is a video of mine(1g): http://youtube.com/watch?v=uR74ywbszT0 Mixing ratio: 1,3G Caso4/1,0g Mg/ 0,2g S Polumna
mormanman Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 I tried this and OH MY GOODNESS it was so pretty. I loved it. And to tell the truth I guessed on the ratio. Like I knew it was 70/30 but my scale kinda blows so. But it was still great. Much, much better than KNO3/ Mg flash by far and not to scary.
