I know that potassium chlorate and sulphur are dangerous/unstable when mixed ( not that I would use chlorate anyway ) but have heard that potassium perchlorate and sulphur are ok together, no particular reason to ask as I cant see a big benefit in using sulphur and ppc but I would like to know. Also, how is Mg/Al with moisture/dampness, mg by itself will react but I think the alloy stops that occurring, nevertheless better to check. All other examples and info on things you should or shouldn't put together would be great, thanks

I've seen perc sulphur combinations in stars, pihko blue I think, as for perc/ sulphur /aluminium mixes they are impact sensitive so best avoided , the aluminium in the magnalium alloy forms a oxide skin to stop further reaction, here's a few other things to ponder http://members.pyrof...hould_know.html
