pyromaniac

For my black match due to my lack of a ball mill (at the moment..) I use 9 parts bp to 1 part dextrin. Then use 50:50 water to methylated spirits to make a mix about as thick as porridge. But then the bit which I rekon makes a diference is rubbing in the mixture because Ive tried other ways e.g jus havin the string being pulled thorugh a BP paste then through a guide hole and that neva seems to work for me. But once the BP paste has been rubbed in (with protective gloves latex or whatever) it burns better and more consistently.
I think this would be because with powder just on top of the string it burns simply on the top but rubbed in it burns all the way throguh thus creating a slower balckmatch but one that burns more and is less likely to go out.

Just a thought.
