Ive just been having a look at the PFP to see how hard coloured stars were to make and it seems ill struggle to get some good quality chemicals needed to make some colours. ive already had a go at making round stars using either aluminium or charcoal to make silver or red. I was wondering if anyone had theyre own inexpensive formulas with chemicals that are easier to come by (household or hardware store kinda stuff). i would order the chemicals nessesary, but im short on funds and i did kinda want the stars for rockets on bonfire night.
Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly recieved
Thanks, Andy

Have you tried looking in the Star Formulas section for anything that suits your needs?

I can understand the lack of funds situation. At the run up to Nov 5th, I'm always short of everything that I need or want. My year long plan of "Keep some of that you are going to need it for Nov 5th" is as kept to as my New Years resolutions.
Oh well! I can always give up smoking and get organised for Nov 5th next year.....................

Ive looked through there, and i cant find anything i can do with the chemicals i have (which isnt much).
I found this through google. It says boric acid is good stuff, but will that work in stars on its own with just bp and binder?
