Does anybody know what goes into the white coloured distress flares?

I am very interested in making some though I don't know what's in them.

Also any advice on construction techniques would also be very useful!

Hi, try this thread for some lance and flare comps - including a reasonable white flare:

These will work just bound with +5% dextrin and dampened slightly, packed in to a cardboard tube, allowed to dry for a couple of days, placed on the ground for ignition. I don't recommend trying to make a hand-held flare (pressed or resin cast in to a steel tube) to start off with as a misfire can cause them to explode
