I haven't seen anyone else ask this and I was just wondering if you could add titanium flake to your lift to add a bit of a mine effect. Or would it just be a waste? I make some pretty badass titanium salutes and I think it would be a cool touch, and I wanted to ask before trying it because titanium is rather pricy and I don't want to waste it. I just use regular bp for my lift and I don't see why it wouldent work. But if anyone has done this or knows the answer please let me know.

I believe your video is somewhat less functional than it might be.

I'd say give it a try; it might not do anything without the flake being in a close proximity to an oxidizer, but it sounds worth testing.

Just to make sure, absolutely do not mill any metal into a lift powder. Adding a metal after it is done is relatively safe, during the milling is extremely hazardous. (Big boom when no big boom wanted type hazardous)

To get a small mine effect on launch with shells, I have added a few primed small stars on top of the shell and rely on the flames that go around the shell to ignite them, it works well enough.

Typically sponge Ti looks/works better with salutes. Plus it's generally cheaper.  Flake may work better in the lift though. Since it will not be as hot as a report comp.
