Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello APC,

This formula works very well for me and it leaves really nice medium white tail.

 

Composition

Barium nitrate-4 parts

Flake aluminium very fine-1 parts

Flitter aluminium (40 mesh)-1parts

 

Preparation-mix fine powder of barium nitrate and fine flake aluminium 2/3 times with sieve then mix 40 mesh flitter aluminium.

bind with thin wheat paste and don't forget to use 2 percent boric acid due to nitrate and aluminium.

Star type-10 by 10 mm cut star.

Star prime-prime with BP+8% silicon powder

prime this star on only one side (top of cut star).

Any improvement/sugessions are welcome

Thanks.

You are talking about Eagle's or Tomek's comp?

Oh sorry LTUPyro I am talking about Tomek's composition.

I tried similar comp.

60% Ba(No3)2

20% Mg (I used MgAl instead of Mg)

20% PVC

It's pretty bright and nice comp. This compostion also works if you change Ba(No3)2 with Sr(No3)2 for red.

Thank you LTU for sharing this composition......

I don't have MgAl but I have Mg,so i am looking for suitable binder for this composition.

Nitrocellulose in acetone will be a good choice.

It should, I used +5% Red Gum and binded with acetone, stars were fully dry in like 30 minutes. Also this comp lights pretty hard so you need good prime, I used thin layer

75% Kclo4

13% Charcoal

12% Red Gum

and then little thicker layer of Meal D
