i think its because mica gives a cool fall out

as to particle size.......probably quite small

 

easier just to buy them !

Easier to buy? Why do you think so? Is it cheaper by this way?

The ones I've looked at are fine titanium sponge and the gold ones are cast iron powder. The silver ones will cause a metal detector to register/bleep. Nitrocel' based comp'.
