A 3/4 Tube (m 80 size , so ive bene told), filled with BP, sealed with the paper plugs, then dipped into air drying clay to seal it.. my question is this, would this create a banger that is going to produce a loud bang and flash , or is it going to pop out the paper plug and clay sealing and go off like a flare?

Reason im asking this question is because i recently read about a guy who made like 200 bangers to find out they were all going off like flares and not actually exploding in the tube..

Thanks in advance, sorry if it is a dumb question , new to the firework making business ;p

I searched the forum and google couldnt find an answer to this so im posting it incase i get the "search for it " reply's

Does anyone know where i can buy tubes for small/big bangers/firecrackers , with paypal (i got no credit card)

I need alot of small tubes for bangers, with caps for each end etc.. thanks in advance

I apollogise if this is in the wrong forum section..

Im new to the whole firework making business and i bought some kit today to start making them..

I bought the following stuff today to start making my own Bangers (Firecrackers if u call them that):

Stone Tumbler / Polisher Machine (2x 1.5 lb) ST4
2-1/2 Lbs. Fireworks Chemical Mill Grinding Media Balls
2000g SALT PETRE
400g Sulfur Powder V fine and 99.9% pure

I have been trying to find charcoal powder do buy (as its the only thing left i need , i think anyway).. my question is this
Will activated charcoal powder work?

Another thing i wanted to ask is.. what does magnesium ribbon do for making fireworks? reason
i ask is i seen a guy say he bought it for making them..

Sorry for the newb questions n thanks
