For what it's worth WildCherry is right on basically everything. Saying it like an a-hole doesn't make him wrong. There is a lot of general confusion with regard to all the terminology with regard...

Mantitor is made by a company in Brazil called Orica, or at least was as of the last time I checked. It's somewhat similar to thermalite and a UK based product called PIC fuse. It has a core of...

Those compositions don't actually use lead dioxide. The compound in question lead (II,II,IV) oxide, Pb3O4, and is more commonly called red lead.

There are a few primer and ignition mixes, as well...

Those inserts certainly do not contain FeTi. They're white, not the orange/yellow of FeTi

Black powder + 10% titanium will get you close.

For what it's worth, I find it very hard to buy that...

Waterfall mixtures really aren't pressed or rammed in the same way that say gerbs are. The walls are too thin to support much force. They're typically dampened, and filled via something called the...

Have you actually tried that formula, or did it just come off a Chinese spec sheet?

There is also a formula given in Hardt by the name Nishiki Kamuro which roughly translates to brocade willow. Not too distant from the formula given before.

KNO3 29%
Charcoal. 34%...

After thinking about it and talking with some friends, I don't know if it actually matters all that much. The general consensus was that on top will make for a taller column of stars, while below...

I'd recommend putting the stars on top of the comet instead of between the lift piston and the comet. In this configuration, the comet helps to lift the stars out of the tube like a thick piston. ...

You can do whatever you want. You asked for advice, and I gave my personal opinion. You'll be the one dodging shells and stars, not me.

I haven't seen too many 3 break shells from Italy fired...

To be honest, a three-break 6" shell would make me sort of nervous out of a 6" HDPE gun. The weight of that shell will probably come in between 7.5 and 9lbs. This probably is in the grey area. I...

They're fine in any caliber. I've seen 12" peanut shells, and possibly even a 16". Like with most shells, you need to be more careful as you go larger. Sloppy techniques will be more likely to...

The formula that the posted formula was based on did originally have perchlorate in it. It also has magnalium and parlon. The original is a pretty good green. It seems all the poorly thought out...

Use a different formula?

Manufacturers tend to only hang out at one or two forums on the internet. The majority of them being older tend to restrict their internet activity and comfort as well. The established forums and...

What don't you under stand about them exactly? They're all measured by weight. It's common for them to be expressed in percentages, though parts are common with older compositions. I find it...

Well, there are three types of stars. Cut, pumped, and rolled. Each are made differently. As far as composition, I'd suggest a charcoal streamer. They're typically the simplest, safest, and...

The word you're looking for is hygroscopic, not hydrophillic.

No idea why he bothers looking more conspicuous by wearing a mask, when he openly shows his face in other videos. Not that I have a whole lot of trust in this guy's intelligence to begin with.

If a dragon egg is too large, it will either glow and then do nothing or split into a few pieces and then each will crackle over a short period of time instead of going off in one snap or pop.
...

No. Very unlikely at least, unless you're drying composition in a round steel bowl in direct sunlight.

I haven't noticed too many people all that knowledgeable in chemistry around here, but it's a mercury compound. Most of them will work, but a more soluble one would work the fastest. The snake ones...

You really only have one thing on your mind, don't you? It's also likely nowhere near 6 micron. Anyone selling it as that is probably a sham anyway.

That particular aluminum is a pretty good...

Red gum is primarily an organic fuel. It's actually not a very good binder, at least compared with standard things like dextrin. You can probably get away with using shellac, rosin, phenolic resin,...

There are likely plenty of custom tube manufacturers in Illinois. I included 2, but there are many more, probably close to where you live to save on shipping. FYI, they'll probably require an ATF...
