As far as i know the Al is not coated,it's 99% pure and from hobbychem.it came monday in a sealed back and i transferred it straight into a airtight container and it's stored in a cool dry place.The pile i lit was about 0.5g and took around a second to burn,so it wasn't that fast.
MMMMMM Pyro
I did test it in a 100mm 12mmID unchoked tube (hand pressed) earlier this week and got the same results.This is my reason for my test tonight.
thanx for the replies guys

Is there any chance of a vid?
This is really wierd, my 300mesh Al is from Hobbychem and works fine in fountains.
Perhaps, unlickly though it may be, the spray and intensity from the Charcoal is overpowering the Al sparks.
If you are able to, try a different comp perhaps:
KNO3 5
Ba(NO3)2 45
Al 45
B.P. 5
This has always yielded good results for me, and if this works that eliminates the Al as a variable...
