I told paul that it doesnt work well, but he didnt believe me....now he does

quite nice this shell!!

theres only one question left concerning the willow-stars. did you cook the composition or only ballmilling and then rolling them?

Hi,

today i read about a possibility to avoid potassium dichroamte in zinc-spreader. Perhaps it can be changed by MnO2.
I will try this and tell you...

moe

hey,

by replacing chemicals by other chemicals the effect also will change. if there was a possibility of zinc-spreader using potassium perchlorate, i think, there would be some formulas, but there arent.

but i think you on the right way, because zinc-spreader using potassium nitrate as the oxidizer are also using sulfur in quite great quantities. so try and keep us up-to-date

Of course they did, even more fantastic.

The "real" zinc-spreaders are made with potassium chlorate. the zinc-spreader containing potassium nitrate are no "real" zincs, becaus they don't spit red sparks everywhere. it's no real red, more silver or something like this.

the effect of kclo3-containing stars is really impressive. try !

the formula has been taken out of wouters formula collection:

Zinc dust.........................................72
Potassium chlorate................................15
Potassium dichromate..............................12
Granular charcoal.................................12
Dextrin...........................................2
