Diaper mixing is really the safest way to mix. You will have ignition at some point, so do NOT underestimate your mixture. It will ignite, and it WILL do so explosively. This is certainly a case of...

1. Magnesium dteriorates rapidly upon exposure to plain old air. In the prescence of KNO3 the oxidation reaction will occur much more rapidly. It is much too dangerous to use Magnesium and it's use...

I hope you are pressing the whistle comp and not hand ramming it. Hammering on whistle comp is asking for an explosion, with titanium metal in the mix, you're not just asking for trouble, you're...

First, scratch the potassium permangante off your list. Trust me, you do NOT want to use that for ANYTHING!
That said, parlon is an excellent binder, it's partially soluable in acetone, more so in...

Really? Quoting other sources from where? What? ……... Boy, you guys sure do cover each other's butts

and Dave, I don't know you, I just call it as I see it. I've been around this pyro jazz a long...

Just my opinion, Dave is pretty judgmental, Quit being such a know it all Dave, restrain the pen and listen instead, and you might just learn something.

I have used the system, and it is useful, but not outstanding in any particular way with the exception that all the stars are parlon/acetone bound, making them waterproof. This easy to make cut stars...

OK, here's my 2 cents worth. I like the formulas for star comp by Robert Veline. I have made this extensively, modified to get a great white, (Red, White, & Blue) left out the dextrin and used...

For making cut stars, skip the dextrin entirely and use acetone for solubilizing the parlon in the mixture. Works great!

Thank you for your candor and your helpful advice, warnings and formulae. I am fully cognizant of the dangers of these mixes, and wholly agree with you of the inherent dangers of mixing KClO3 and...

Hi all, anyone have any insight for making throw down torpedoes like they made in the old days? A buddy of mine made some with some realgar I got for him years ago.

The torps were absolutely...

Hi all, anyone have any insight for making throw down torpedoes like they made in the old days? I am interested in any safety information and formulae that any experienced members can contribute....
