Can someone say what the useful sizes of powder are please.
I have a possible free scource but i need to sieve it to see what i can get.

[digger]

From dust to 1000 microns

 

I like 225 - 450 and 450 - 750. However there some uses for finer stuff in small Gerbs.

can someone suggest a use for the ti I have? it was not free   it is 0-100# with only a few percent 100# most of it is very fine dust and im finding it very difficult to find a composition that uses it, other than adding it to stars and prime.

 

what I really want is to find a star comp that uses a high percentage hopefully giving me dense fine firedust tails but i'll be happy with any info on any comps, glitter,gerbs, ti brocades, anything. I started a thread on apc but have only a few responses, the best idea so far is to bind the fine powder and use it as larger mesh, there must be a way to utilise fine ti, im sure its beauty is waiting for me to find it

 

sorry for the hijack, it is almost destiny though, ive been searching all over the interwebs the last fortnight [ should have come here first]

Stuff i got was too fine as well.
Someone suggested a flash type comp may work although for what i dont know.

I was looking into making a kind of flash bang / smoke bomb kind of thing a while back (like you see in old ninja films, where they throw it on the floor and that creates a puff of smoke and flash for them to disappear into) 

 

Ti might be good to use in that?! just need to work out how to ignite on impact which would then ignite the smoke compound. Safely!!

ill buy a bag of ninja smoke from you, when you perfect the comp

I would guess that quite fine Ti powder can be used in "titanium willow" a type of brocade effect. I've not tried it myself, but if you were to start with a classic willow mix and add 10% Ti it might be a start??
The little NC based "ice fountains" you buy to put on birthday cakes etc. would likely be another use for fine stuff.
