NC? when Did I say that i was going to use it? The closest I am ever going to get to Nitrocellulose is at the ping pong table!
before you have mastered shells using BP; the way it has, and will probably continue to be done.
I am can not claim to have mastered shells, but I do know no amount of extra pasting on a 3" will give me a nice spherical and symetrical burst when un-boosted Bp is used as a break. I also know that the common method or incresing the power of the bursts is to boost it with whistle or flash. First up, whistle. I dont want to, and I am sure Adam, you dont want me to, use Picrate or Gallic whistle. I dont have perc so there goes Benzoate whistle. So then there is flash, as I have said, I dont have perc, so there goes 70/30. Chlorate doesnt even exist in this discussion, and nor will it exist, EVER in my possesion. So no H3. I read on Rec.pyro that some people use 50%KNO3/30%Al/20%S flash. As flash grade Al is expensive to get here, in New Zealand, I decided that as magnalium can be made with easy to get solid Mg and Al, and that magnalium is brittle ( so I could quickly and easily mill it down with my soon to get stainless media) it would be a possible alternative. Would 50%KNO3/30%MgAl/20%S realy be that much more sensitive than 70/30 flash? If so should I just remove the sulphur and adjust the ratios acordingly? Oh, and I am not going to use 20g of flash, more like 1g.
YES Yuge...( now I dont know what to call you) I think Yugen Biki IS an awesome name, just think about it, Yugen-biki
Oh, what a crap post. Adam, I am not in any way arguing with you, as it apears. You have my full respect. And I almost forgot! I will be using NC laqueur for e-matches, but those are going to be ping pong balls, so I am safe.
