Mumbles offered to sort a copy but it never happened, about a year ago I think, prob jus forgot I guess.

Skylighter will not send anything at all outside of USA. -period. AFN sells the book but in my opinion (I have the book) its not worth the money. A subscription to Passfire forum would be money better spent.
The book is somewhat outdated now and also contains some unsafe and inaccurate information eg. making CIA black powder in a glass coffee urn!!!!!

I made up the stars in my new kit the other day and test lit a few on the concrete floor.....the 8 colours are excellent though the blue is a little pale.
Making the stars acetone bound was very easy and they were dry in a couple of hours..
Like Deano said 'a great bit of kit'.
Would reccomend the seller and his product and will buy again....2 kg of 8 different coloured stars for around 36 quid including the postage not bad I reccon for the price. If I had had to buy all the chems seperately it would have cost me a lot more.

I do like the idea of the parlon bound stars. However for me I try and avoid all solvents due to overly high risk from ignition with them.

OK it is good if you can do it outside. However, in a practical production environment there are to many issues with the regulations regarding solvent release to the atmosphere and if done indoors the risk is unacceptable.

If we worry toooooo much about issues with regulations none of us would be doing half the things we are discussing here on this forum.

I like him, but it's gotten worse since Ned Gorski started to write for Skylighter. He publishes what he does or is experimenting with, and then SL kind of presents it in a way that he originated it. The first person I saw "slice" parlon stars was Gary Smith.

Ned's actualy a very competent and knowledgable pryo and PGI Grandmaster, while Skylighter may be over the top with their hype and marketing Ned always attributes the basis of his work to others if the ideas or formulations he has published by Skylighter are not his own. Sliced Parlon stars ....yes an old idea and he says so in the article. The formulations he shows in the article are his own modifications of various others but then almost everything seen now purporting to be new is merely modified ...I can't think when the last time I saw a genuine new formulation for anything?

A month or two ago Skylighter had some Parlon bound star formulae in their newsletter + kits for sale - I wonder if there's any connection? The formulae are listed here: http://www.skylighte...ubber-stars.asp (mods - I assume it's OK to post this?)

I got my new order yesterday for a 2 kg parlon star kit .last night I made up the reds in the formulation...great****** they were dry and ready to light in an hour and burn well.... good bright red. will get the other 7 colors mixed up tonight to try them . The whole kit cost me 26 quid plus postage, well packed and clear instructions and formulation tables..they look to be the same as the skylighter kit but much cheaper ..you don't have to buy everything in1 Lb quantities and of course slylighter will not sell to UK buyers only american. well pleased with the chems and have a half kilo of Magnalium very fine mesh half kilo of parlon plus 6 other chems enough to make 250gm each of eight diff colors. all the chems are a bit over the stated weight so ive got some left of some things to use for something else plus i got a load of free samples including some rice hulls..always wanted to make bp covered huls but don't know where to find them in england.
