devilman Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 I live in australia and havent been able to find any pure zinc powder to make smoke bombs out of, the closest i have found is "zinc fix" in the chem, which is 1/4 zinc, and a zinc plant food, which is about 1/2 zinc. I was wondering if it was possible to use them in a smoke bomb, or would the impurites prevent me from doing it? Ive been doing alot of research and havent been able to find a question to this answer
rocket Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 No the zinc fix and plant food cant be used as they contain no metallic zinc just zinc salts. I'll give you a hint search for metal powders.
Xtreme Pyro Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 If you want to make some decent smoke bomb's why not just use the 60:40 ratios of KNO3 + SUGAR? They work great here's the link to the article about how to make them: http://www.pyroguide.com/index.php?title=Smoke_mix I hope this helps a bit.
