There's a new effect I want to try and it is the magnesium fueled sizzling comets. I found some formulas in AFN 3 and purchased some magnesium. Unfortunately I purchased 325 mesh. The formula calls for granular 40 mesh. Can I still make the comets, just with a lower volume, and smaller flame envelope?

at that size, it's likely the magnesium won't crackle. are you sure it's not magnalium the composition calls for?

Haha, I was looking at the composition and I said to myself "that looks familiar..." and then I realised that that's the comp I made! I knew I'd seen it before :P

Not at all mate, but from here on in you can it "crackling magenta '05". Refer to the testing video if you use the comp in a vid or such material if you're feeling generous. tongue2.gif
