Arw Posted August 21 Posted August 21 Hey guys Do you ever make simizu white willow stars? Do you follow this recipe? I make them and primed them normally Could it makes problem?
cmjlab Posted August 22 Posted August 22 Yes - if youre going for a willow effect, they will work nicely primed like you did, and used in a shell without any gpsum coating. I checked the reference against my copy of F.A.S.T., and the process provided in the description describes a way to create white smoke stars using a normal star composition. The process demonstrates creating a "white smoke star" where smoke is produced from the flame of the star comp, amd burn rate is controlled with the gypsum coating to encourage more white smoke production. 1
Mumbles Posted August 23 Posted August 23 A lot of smoke compositions need to restrict the amount of oxygen, which I suspect is the main reasoning behind the gypsum coating. Making them light a normal star without the coating may expose them to too much oxygen and really reduce the amount of smoke generated. Try it out and let us know though. It'd be nice to not have to go through the more laborious coating, drilling, and priming process if it's not necessary. 1

Crazy Swede Posted August 25 Posted August 25 Madboy, the discussion is about a smoke star for daytime fireworks!
DavidF Posted August 25 Posted August 25 MADBOY- chlorate, sulfur, antimony trisulfide AND gritty magnalium? Better wear safety glasses... As folks have mentioned with your formulas before, there's no mention of a binder. Also, no instructions, safety or otherwise. This seems like a very sensitive mixture.

No my friend it is not a sensitive mix formula, It is very slow burning formula,and all so good formula
DavidF Posted August 25 Posted August 25 Let me correct myself. This seems like a sensitive mixture to compound if the right procedure is not used, due to the sensitivity of some components to each other. But there is no procedure or star type mentioned- and no binder. There is an American pyro I am aware of that lost his whole shop and got in a lot of legal trouble because he processed a similar 'not sensitive' mixture incorrectly.
