In Topic: Pine Charcoal

11 September 2007 - 10:42 AM

I'm quite new and i have little experience, i find it hard to get willow charcoal so i decided to try and make some from pine as i use this a bit at work. the only tooling i have at the moment is 1lb stinger missile which i have made so far using BBQ charcoal and they fly but lazy, so I'm just trying to in prove my black powder. I'm making my powder in a ball mill i got from procreations.com thinking about having a go making some 1" aerial shells in a few weeks, don't want to try anything too big just yet.

cheers for the replies

i'm adding red iron oxide, and it says i need petrolium jelly and a solvent to disolve it in.

this is from pyro guide

Gently melt the petroleum jelly in a beaker on low heat. Make sure no sources of heat or sparks are present before proceeding with the next steps. Remove it from the heat and add about 5 portions of toluene or lacquer thinner--ie. for a 500g batch, melt 20g of petroleum jelly, mix with 80 millilitres of toluene


i dont have any toluene so i asking of other suitable solvents to use.

cheers
