I apollogise if this is in the wrong forum section..

Im new to the whole firework making business and i bought some kit today to start making them..

I bought the following stuff today to start making my own Bangers (Firecrackers if u call them that):

Stone Tumbler / Polisher Machine (2x 1.5 lb) ST4
2-1/2 Lbs. Fireworks Chemical Mill Grinding Media Balls
2000g SALT PETRE
400g Sulfur Powder V fine and 99.9% pure

I have been trying to find charcoal powder do buy (as its the only thing left i need , i think anyway).. my question is this
Will activated charcoal powder work?

Buy yourself a bag of charcoal if you can get hold of it, or make your own. Grind it down og start small with the BP, it will take some time before you get it right, I suppose.

The magnesium is a component used for a white and/or sparkling effect. My humble opinion is to start with BP, make yourself comfortable with the process and use and then move on.
With plain BP you can make bangers, rocket drivers, blackmatch fuse etc. Go slow and start out in the small.
