Where do you guys buy your Mg powder?
I've been looking around and the only place i can find is someone that sells it for £20 per 250g

Any idea's?

Hi, i make my own BP and can't work out why it burns so hot! i filled up a highlighter cap with it and put a fuse in then taped round, and when i went back the cap had melted but the paper came and selotape round the outside hadn't. I'm using THIS KNO3, THISSulfur and Charcoal made from matchsticks heated with no oxgen and soaked in Citreonela (spelling?) liquid fire torch fuel (when this is lit, the oxgyen is pulled out of the container thus away from the sticks and also heats it to an extent. I use a 75:15:10 ratio, hand ground with a P&M to a consistancy of thick flour (about twice the granual size, but not as big as caster sugar). I know eBay isn't the best place to get chems but im gonna be re crystalising my KNO3 soon too see if the purity of that is the problem and also i am in the process of making a ball mill.

P.s. The burn time of the cap full was less than half a second but it still made the cap melt a rediculess amount!

Hi, i've been looking at making and electronic remote detonation box (at the moment it's more like red to red, black to black, twist 'em together and stand well back!). Have any of you guys had any experiance in this and how did you guy about it. The components need to be fairly cheap or available from old electronic products you may have. I am a decent solderer so that wouldn't be a problem and my brother is a sparky. I also already have developed a bridge wire etc. just need the switch box. It needs to run on 12v OR 9v but i would need an ignition system the other end. I will primerily be lighting KNO3 rockets and visco/flying fish fuse.

Thanks!

Just found this, it seems pretty cheap. What do you think?

Hi, I've just gotten in to pyro (i've always loved playing with fires and fireworks). I got some KNO3 off the internet (eBay) the other day, but it cost me £8 inc P+P for 900g. Is there a shop i can go to to obtain it or anywhere online that does it cheaper? I don't want to be ordering over 10kg. Thanks, Liam
