After having a little read I noticed that nobody mentioned the Aluminum partical size or shape.After testing many flash formulations the only one that does all the above and seriously none are safe ive always been paranoid after seeing what it can do but 70/30 for a serious punch works and relively safe to combine as long as your in your cotton skivies standing on wood but the Al partical size and type of Al is Indian dark or German dark flake 2 micron with very fine perc.That formulation will do whatever you need it to from thumping salutes to crosetts,excuse any spelling im old lol.

Dear Fiend:

Here 3 basic formulas:

REPORTS: 72 % Potassiom Perchlorate 28 % Black Aluminum (or 2, 5 parts to 1 part).
Not sensible version: a) 70 % Potassium Perclorate + 8 % Black Aluminum B) 20 % Black Aluminum + 2 % graphite powder
Charge a) and B) separately into your report, close it, then shake your report: ready !

SHELL BURSTING:
STRONG: 50 % Potassium Perchlorate 25 % Black Aluminum, 25 % Magnalium (or 2:1:1);
MORE "FRIENDLY": 55% Potassium Nitrate, 25 % Bright Aluminum, very, very fine, 20 % sulphur, add 1% of Boric Acid

Satisfied ?

Alright, yes flash powder is and should be a sensitive topic, but I haven't really seen anybody hit the subject that directly on this forum, so I feel that I should start up the questions and answers.
Alright, first off, I know that flash powders are to be used only in small amounts, perhaps larger amounts in mortors, but what are good formulas for specific flashes?
I have found several, but I think I'll ask if I can share them online before I actually do?

until my next response,

by the way, I was reading a post about BP growing white stuff, and you guys referring to it as 'mould'. Do you guys really spell 'mold' that way? I was confused, and thought it was pronounced "mowld". Hmm. That's all I wanted to say... :unsure:
