anybody used the above product in the uk ?
 
probably old hat and I guess it never took off(what were the reasons?)
but its like shock tube / nonel
 
but with a pot perchlorate / aluminium dusting
 
(instead of the hmx/aluminium dusting used in the shock /nonel tube)

I always wondered if it would be possible to make a home made version of this by forming a tube of self adhesive tape then funnelling flash through it until it has a thorough coating. I think your perchlorate and dark aluminium would need a significant amount of anti caking agent in there to stop it from forming clumps and getting stuck in the tube.

 

By using gummed paper tape you could wet one edge to roll the tube, then when ready to fill you could moisten the outer surface with a spray bottle to activate the adhesive (and hopefully it won't unwind!).

 

Looks like an interesting product anyway but can't say I've ever seen it used.
