I'm not certain, I've only worked with copper chloride - but I can tell you compositions with chlorate, shellac and PVC burn quite hotly. A barium chloride variant will have to be played with to work properly.
With that being said, how has your experience been with copper chloride? I've had lovely experiences using it in stars with quite a number of fuels.
For now i haven't tested cucl2 yet,i'm still waiting it .But i saw on youtube that a mix of kclo3,hexamine and cucl2 makes very nice blue.Now i want to test with bacl2 .I'll keep you informed
