I know that potassium chlorate and sulphur are dangerous/unstable when mixed ( not that I would use chlorate anyway ) but have heard that potassium perchlorate and sulphur are ok together, no particular reason to ask as I cant see a big benefit in using sulphur and ppc but I would like to know. Also, how is Mg/Al with moisture/dampness, mg by itself will react but I think the alloy stops that occurring, nevertheless better to check. All other examples and info on things you should or shouldn't put together would be great, thanks

Hi, firstly I would just like to apologise for the placement of this post, I was unsure as to where I should put this topic, secondly, I am aware that Flash Powder seems to be a bit of a sensitive subject which has been attributed to it being a bit of a grey area in terms of classification. However, I like to make Flash Powder at home and I am looking for a few answers on:
1. Is my FP a High Explosive?
2. Is the FP detonating as opposed to deflagrating?
3. Are there any more safety precautions I should be taking?
4. What other applications are there for FP?
5. General info and advice
Here are a few points;
-My FP is 2:1 Magnalium:Potassium Perchlorate
-It self-confined and exploded with a distinct bang in an open 2-3g pile but in small amounts it has just gone poof as well
-I only mix batches under 10g, usually 3g and always use the diaper method
-I wear a dust mask and make it outside
Right I think that's about it!
