Hi, try this thread for some lance and flare comps - including a reasonable white flare:

These will work just bound with +5% dextrin and dampened slightly, packed in to a cardboard tube, allowed to dry for a couple of days, placed on the ground for ignition. I don't recommend trying to make a hand-held flare (pressed or resin cast in to a steel tube) to start off with as a misfire can cause them to explode
Thanks Very Much
