artificier Posted February 18, 2007 Author Posted February 18, 2007 I just think its easier to make 50/50 kno3/mg flash. How fine do the magnesium filings have to be for the flash to "flash" ? Just want to make safer powder, But the sulphate/charcoal its a big problem, I have an idea:50% CaSO435% fine and coarse MG15% charcoal+5% sulphurhmmm sound like BP

Artificier, you keep posting more and more off the wall flash, and talk about safety in the same sentence you talk adding Mg to a very hygroscopic chem? You talk about using sparklers for safe fuse in your COB's ? What's wrong with any of the industry standards ? No one is gonna use this crap for anything but cobs and boomers, not going to be breaking crossettes or boosting shell breaks with it.

In my county its nearly impossible to buy chem, I just found a bottle of 100g of KNO3 for 5$,Sparklers stuff its my only way to make pyro, i just want to make new invention SAFELY! Cob device its the past for me.
Mumbles Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Ok, you live in canada. I would hardly call that impossible to buy chemicals.
