First attempts at BP, any ideas?

10 July 2007 - 09:02 PM

Right, so i finally got my sulphur the othe day (500g for about 4quid including p&p) plus along with my homemade charcoal and KN03 i already have, i got all the ingredients for my first attempt at Black Powder.

My scales arrive in the post sometime this week, and i was thinking about making a gram or 2, just to start with.

I'll be using a mortar and pestle, as making/buying a ball mill seemed a bit excessive for a first try.

My first few projects will be: (apart from some ok BP)
  • black match
  • polumna
just something relativly simple..

First question, once ive weighed out my ingredients and put them into my mortar, should i add water before i beging to crush/mix them together? or just be gentle.. they are made of ceramic material so im hoping its none sparking..

Ill update this with pictures of how my experiments go
