In Topic: Roman Candles

04 November 2006 - 03:09 PM

My roman candles ussally use stars of about 1/2". Spider stars are my favorite for the candles. The delay mix i use is very effective and i use about 5g of it between each star and this gives about a 3-4 second delay.
The compostion is from the RSOC book 'The chemistry of fireworks'.
Roman Candle delay mix-

KN03- 52g

Soft grain blackpowder- 22g

Charcoal 40 mesh- 21g

Red Gum-5g

I then ball mill this together for about 4 hours.

I sometimes wonder if people realise those sparks that fly out the end of fireworks aren't as cuddley as they think.
