Recommended Posts

Hello pyros, in search of a good carbonate i’ve come up with this composition. Please give me your thoughts in terms of redness/brilliance. Lift is weak with this one.

Nice. Here's Buell Red, a carbonate red, for comparison.

 

Buell Red - cut, rolled
Potassium perchlorate 35
Strontium carbonate 25
Magnalium (-200 mesh) 14
Red gum 7
Parlon 13
Dextrin 5
Add 25% alcohol/ 75%water

 

How do your composition differ? What prime are you using?

Well, it is buell red. But im using 50/50 phenolic resin/red gum in total of 12 units replacing dextrin. I use 50:50alcohol water for the phenolic resin activator.

 

Monocopa was used as a prime.
