Excellent thanks. A couple of questions though. I noticed each forumla requires red gum but why is this? Surely Gerbs do not require binders, or in this case does it act as a fuel?
Also apologies if this has been asked before but generally in formulas is it ok to substitute Strontium nitrate with strontium carbonate? I know Strontium nitrate is an oxidiser so doing so, would it require you to alter the proportions of the other chems i.e. increase the amount of perchlorate?
Yes, In many cases red gum is used as fuel. And no - you can substitute one for the other. St. Nitrate is known to give very pure red colour while St. Carbonate does not. You can try adding perchlorate and a colour donour - but you will be researching a whole new formula now.
