I recently did a show, with a few rockets that propelled maybe like 200-500 feet into the air, and had burst charges with flash powder. I'll try to edit this post with the video file link. Anyway, this flash powder seems to make a big flash, but not quite as powerful:
70 Potassium permanganate
30 dark pyro aluminum (600 mesh)
More aluminum, brighter flash, less powerful. I used that, and it didn't have a massive report, despite the some 50 grams that were in the end charges along with the stars. The stars and comets came out fine, and the guy said he should have charged admission. Anyhow, I know how permanganate is a very questionable substance, and I made it and used it within 6 hours; I'm not sure exactly how safe it is, but don't do this unless you know what your doing.

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...
