jopete and yankie purple stars

[brad224]

i was looking for good purple stars, and both of these seemed to have good reviews.  tried a small batch of each, and burned a couple last night.  the plan is to build a couple of small shells and see what they look like in the sky, but here are the ground tests of each.

Is it Jopetes fucshia 1 or 2?

[brad224]

i didn’t know there were 2 versions, and i saw it described as purple rather than fuscia, (it DOES look a lot more fuchsia than purple) but this was the formula:

 

0.27 Potassium perchlorate

0.27 Strontium nitrate

0.09 Copper oxide

0.10 Red gum

0.13 Parlon

0.10 Magnalium, 230-mesh

0.04 Dextrin

That would be fuschia #2, coincidentally the most recent color stars I made- I love them along with all the Jopetes formulas I've tried. For reference, here's fuschia #1...

0.48 Potassium perchlorate

0.11 Strontium carbonate

0.07 Copper oxide

0.10 Red gum

0.12 Parlon

0.10 Magnalium, 200-mesh

0.04 Dextrin

I've made both of jopete #1 & 2. I thought the color saturation of #1 was kind of poor. And preferred the color hue of #2. You really need to get farther way. Or get the stars up in the air. So you can truly evaluate the actual color of them.

Yankee purple always seems pretty popular. But, quite often, I also wished it was more saturated.

Ofca's Purple Mag is also another formula worth looking at. As well as Blesers New purple.

Both jopetes comps are not purple. They are pink.

Jopetes purple:

0.48 Potassium perchlorate

0.12 Copper oxide

0.06 Strontium carbonate

0.09 Red gum

0.12 Parlon

0.06 Magnalium, 230-mesh

0.04 Dextrin

What’s the yellow composition in that shell?
