Dust masks

28 April 2004 - 05:54 PM

Hi,

My old decorating dust mask is getting on a bit now, and is in need of replacement. I really want something more professional and comfortable, perhaps with replaceable filters. Does anyone know what grade is required for fine sulphur and aluminium powder up to about 3000#? There are a few on ebay, has anyone bought them from here and if so how much for?

The Lord of the Rings

Well, thats it. I've just seen The Return of The King and I can safely say that The Lord of The Rings epic was the best I have ever seen. The special effects were breath-taking, the acting superb and the story gripping. What did everyone else think of it? If you haven't seen it I strongly recommend you do; trust me, I'm a pyrotechnics enthusiast!

PS. The fireworks in the first film are pretty damn good too.

Bengal fires

14 December 2003 - 01:38 PM

Hi,

Has anyone got any good bengal fire compositions. I really want some bright ones using potassium chlorate and strontium or barium carbonate. Heres a great white fire thats superb in an open tube (its acctually a slow buring flash comp)

Potassium Nitrate 50
Aluminium Powder 20
Sulphur Powder 30

(Just don't stare at this comp for two long; its so bright you'll end up with a blue spot in your vison!)

Thanks

Indoor fireworks

30 November 2003 - 12:28 PM

Hi,

I've got a friend with a band and he has asked me if it might be possible to do some small pyro effects at his next gig. The gig will be indoors and so obviously any 'home brewed' devices are completely out of the question. Does anyone know what indoor fireworks (Cat 1) can still be bought by consumers (other than sparklers)? What I really want is a couple of tiny little flash pots to go on both sides of the stage. In the USA you can by these as consumer fireworks but I have a sneaking suspision that they won't be available here; though you can buy those little indoor bangers things with loads of streamers and glitter in them.

Any help?
