In Topic: Flour in explosives

interesting stuff guys, if we were to use any material (currently just using the BP) it needs to be safe both from ignition and chemically sound (cement is not great in eyes/ respiratory system). Fullers earth sounds worth a closer look as does compost so far.

Interesting stuff- @ digger had heard about fullers earth. Might give this a try next season.

I don't use flour myself as it does not seem to ad much to the effect but as I work with those who do thought it worth more discussion. Interestingly one reason I don't use it is in case of people nearby who are lactose intolerant (amazing the stuff you come up with through risk assessment!).

Hi there- I would agree with the above- I am the founder and current head of the pyro team for the 'Wight Pirates'- www.wightpirates.wepaint.com we have one member at your university already and are a 1/2 hr ferry journey away- from Easter we have weekly practices on the Island where we teach everything from sword combat to cannon use! If this interests you please PM me (and yes keep yourself squeaky clean legal wise!).
