Save your money copal is expensive and useless for fireworks, but I use it on my hand built cane fishing rods.

HCE is nowhere near as bad as HCB, I can't comment on the other. On a side note I have just been offered HCE, not that cheap though.
Phew that was close.

" bringing some in March " are you coming to the firework course in Fallas
week

15- 19th, I have some PLM comrades who would like to come as well.

The problem that week is the factories will be closed for visitors.

Blue lance. I will make a few tomorrow morning. Just KP? or is KP BaNO3

OK. The burning rate is about 30s an inch. I always retry something before I
post.

Green regards Steve
