Sawdust star

[Zumber]

Hi frends,

this is the sawdust formula found in pyro books

Meal……2

 

Fine charcoal…….1

 

Sawdust…………..1

 

what's effect it gives..?? firespark for long time going down solwly..??

Likely slow burning, and sparks that make it back to the ground.

I bet it will make a slow burning compound, but dont use sawdust, like from a saw. That formula IIRC calls for sawdust that is highly powdered like from a power sander.

Correct me if I am wrong, and I often am, but that would be wood meal, no?

 

I made mine from ballmilling sawdust overnight with SST balls. It also cleaned my mill out very nicely BTW

Hmm.. Now that I think of it. you are probably right. Ive never used it, so you would know better than I. I bet it would clean your mill pretty well man.

Was the sawdust really dry? I would've thought it would just polish everything and not really be reduced...

 

When I need wood meal (priming is the only thing I use it for) I just screen sawdust with a 60 or 100 mesh screen IIRC.

Fulcaneli says that wood meal is finer then 100 mesh, I'm not sure how fine it is supposed to be nor do I know if it matters at all. The cascading of the balls turns sawdust to powder, dry or not, you do have to sift it though and I only use a 60 mesh to sift wood, it clogs up my 100 mesh screen to badly.
