Vsolon74 Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Would 100 mesh Aluminum Powder work for flash powder with Potassium Perchlorate? It's the only mesh that I can find, without buying a pound of it. If it's not, could I crush it up to make it small enough with a blunt object? Edited January 2, 2013 by Vsolon74
taiwanluthiers Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 We generally frown on discussion regarding flash, especially when its a beginner. 100 mesh won't make flash and you can't just crush it to make it finer.
Mumbles Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Taiwanluthiers, please reserve the moderating to those of us who actually run this place. People have pretty much covered this. It wont work, and you should probably do some more reading on pyrotechnics and safety. These are the kind of questions that typically indicate that you shouldn't be messing with anything resembling flash yet.
