[Pure]DarkNess Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 hey guys I've been on this web site a few time and i thought it was about time i joined also i was wondering if you guys could help, because i live in Australia its kinda hard to come across salt peter, sulfur and all them other goodies to make candy rocket fuel and smoke bombs. is there away to make simple smoke bombs or rockets fuel with only house hold items it would really help a lot
styropyro Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 If you need Potassium Nitrate buy a can of powdered stump remover, that stuff is Potassium Nitrate. It works perfect in smoke bombs and other pyrotechnics, but it costs $5 a pound which is a little expensive compared to other sources, but it is a good start.
pudidotdk Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 How about if a sticky topic were made "Newbies - look here!"so we didn't have to say the same thing over and over again?The topic could then contain all beginner info, such as which stuff to get, how to start out etc.
cplmac Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Sadly pudi that's not gonna really change anything. I'm pretty sure we have a couple of Aussies on here who might be able to help, I know for certain we have a New Zealander.
pudidotdk Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Well even if they create new topics, as I'm sure they do, we could just give them the link to the topic.
rocket Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Your not gunna find stump remover, your best bet is to get onto any agricultural supplier in you area and look there. Sulphur can be found at Big W and Bunning. If you look hard enough you can pretty much find anything you want but it will take a bit off work believe me .
[Pure]DarkNess Posted August 15, 2007 Author Posted August 15, 2007 thanks guys, i'll try and have a look for some of that stuff >.> and see if i can get some money off my mum with out her knowing what im doing she hates me doing this stuff like i mean mentos and coke she wont even let me do that with my own money
[Pure]DarkNess Posted August 16, 2007 Author Posted August 16, 2007 Another quick question, Would Epsom salts slow down the burning time in sparkler bombs? be really cool if it does because i can get a shit load of that

[Pure]DarkNess Posted August 16, 2007 Author Posted August 16, 2007 lol, well the only reason why I'm asking is cuz i make big ones and last time i made one i almost took my hand off because it was burning to fast befour i could throw it
rocket Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 And that’s why you don’t hold and light pyrotechnic devices whether it is a smoker or a salute.
[Pure]DarkNess Posted August 16, 2007 Author Posted August 16, 2007 Well i learnt my lesson plus i was only 14
cplmac Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 I'm gonna try and be nice about this, that kind of crap doesn't fly here. If your topics and questions are going to circle that drain chances are you won't be here long.
