I would like to make a batch of Ruby Red MgAl oder Emerald Green.
Because I am a little low with Parlon, which I'd like to keep for Go-Getters (great effect),
I would like to replace the Parlon. The cheapest replacement for me would be PVC.
Has anybody tried this so far?
Should the formulation be modified in other respects to, or wouldn't it work at all? I would like it to give the perfect colour of the standard Ruby Red, if that's possible...
If just using PVC instead of Parlon works, that would be ideal. Binding is no problem, I don't want to use aceton for the composition anyway.
I'm a bit stressed out at the moment, otherwise I would have tried it for myself already.

Haven't tried it but if you know the Cl content for each, you can make substitutions depending on how much Cl is in PVC (Parlon is in 70% region I recall).

So you might need to add 5% more PVC, for example, to get the correct colour, but bear in mind this extra fuel might slow down the burn rate a bit.
75 : 15: 10... Enough said!
