How can I make a ferro titanium fountain with as much mix in as possible but without ramming it as I have heard can result in a small a spark lighting the mix which could be very dangerous.
I am new to the forums but have been making fireworks for a while now.
I have recently tried to make black match using cotton string and black powder mixed about 1/5 with dextrin. I mixed it well, added some methylated spirits to dissolve it and make it into a slurry. I then took a plastic container and drilled a hole through the lid. I put the string in and pull it out through the hole. The string I used had been dipped in potassium nitrate sol. and left to dry over night. I left the black match to dry for about 18 hours. When lit, it simply sparks and occasionally burns about a centimetre down one part of the black match. So only about half of the black match burns on one side of the string. I know this sounds confusing but is a bit hard to explain. It is really weird because when I put it in a pile it seems to burn really well. If anyone could help in any way I would really appreciate it.
