My plan is to soak the paper (type undecided) possibly news paper in a saturated solution of sodium chlorate and the dry them ready for use. Will this work ok ? if not any suggestions would be welcome, also if i used barium chlorate would i get a green flame? and would their be any toxicity issues ?

Not sure exactly what effect you're looking for but I don't think soaking paper in Chlorate is going to give the same effect as proper flash paper - more like an energetic touch paper.

The procedure for making flash paper is essentially a HE synth and, as such, is outside the realms of this forum. Unless an exception has been made which I'm not sure about...

Search for 'flash paper'...
and Cooperman, check out the 'Flash Cord' on the same page - it might help with the smokeless pyrogen project...

I'll give the sodium chlorate a try on a few different papers and report back.
