I recently made an order which Lukasz said would be posted today. I'll check back if/when it arrives.

Fingers crossed!

As you may have read my order was "delayed" for a serious amount of time. Also the communication was not good. But in the end he did sent me my order, and I got an apology. I'll be placing another order with him I think sometime soon. I'm very pleased with the quality of the chems, and they were properly packaged. I would say you can make a "small" order and see if it arrives in time. Overall I think he's a good supplier.

The Italian member stands corrected

Sorry man, I had a run in with some chavs speaking a foreign language that day (it was actually English, but they were talking in a manor that only they could understand). I should have looked and checked whether your native language was English or not. Schoolboy error on my part!

Well my orders has always come through ok but lots of chasing was involved. just out of interest, what is the Copper supphate and benzoate for? i have some copper sulphate i used for copper plating but i dont know of any uses in pyro, if you know of any recipes let me know

[pudi.dk]

You can use it to make wheat paste last a little longer

Wyvern,
This formula is what calls for CuSO4 5H2O, Copied from cannonfuse.com, I apologise if the mods have a problem with this, feel free to move it if you do!

Twinkling blue star
Source: Composition in handwriting in the copy of Shimizu[1], present in the library of the Technical University of Delft.
Comments:
Preparation: Add 25 parts 10% nitrocellulose solution in acetone to 100 parts of the composition, and make cut stars. Roll these stars in "priming composition #8", using the same NC paste until stars are round. Add a final layer of black powder in NC paste to ensure ignition.

Magnesium, 60 mesh (treated with potassium bichromate).....23
Ammonium perchlorate..............................60
Copper sulfate....................................17
Potassium dichromate (as a stabilizer)............+5%

It just caught my attention, and I've wanted to try it for a while now! The (C6H5COO)2 Cu is going to be used for the NH4ClO4 Cop light blue, its;

NH4ClO4- 82%
(C6H5COO)2 Cu- 18%

From a quick scan of rec.pyro. Apparently beautiful!

Also the Electric Purple star that has (C6H5COO)2 Cu in it is one that I really wanna try {again sorry if mods dissaprove my copy/pasting}:

NH4ClO4 -68
C6H12N4 -7
SrCO3 -12
(C6H5COO)2 Cu -8
Mg/Al -5
K2Cr2O7 +5
H3BO3 +1
(C6H10O5)n +4

Wet with;
25%C2H5OH
75% H20

Regards,

Mike

Oh, and yes I do know about Copper Ammonium Incompatibilty!

Hi all,
Just made payment to Keten and am really looking forward to {hopefully} getting some new chems! I'll post again if/when they arrive!
Creepin Pyro, did your order arrive?


Regards,


Mike

[Martin]

I payed 25/3, and are still waiting...
Hope you have lots of patience (or that he treats you better than me)

[Creepin_pyro]

I paid 17/04 and still haven't received anything. Lukasz's excuses for the delays have the distinct whiff of bullshit to them - I'll report back with any progress, but I'm not holding my breath!

[BigBang]

Why are you guys still sending this obviously unreliable seller (at best) your hard earned cash?? Youve read about all the problems other members have had. Some people just never learn!
