Right I know flash powder is a taboo subject but I am currently trying to make it, as much as I hate the stuff, and it will not work no matter what I do. I am using the standard 70/30 perc, aluminum formula and the diaper method for integrating them both. The aluminum is from Tiranti and is pretty good. The problem I am getting is that the dam stuff just will not burn fast at all, it is worse than un-milled bp! I just ain't sure as to what the problem may be. I also have tried the kno3 based flash using the same parts and it's still, how can I put it...... SHIT!!


It burns more like a fountain mix when confined producing a nice bright light but nothing more. Any help would be appreciated, I am making the stuff for my cakes finally.

may i ask what "the diapermethod for integrating them both" is?
is it a way of mixing the stuff?

I am not very familier with german dark alu, what makes it diffrent from regular Al ?
combined with KClO4.
and what is its dangers? ( on danish: R- og S-sætninger)

EDIT: and thanks for the answers

hello

I have read a pig part of the 42 sites before this, but couldnt find answers for my basic questions, but if they are there i am sorry for asking again.
i am reffering to amount on 1-10grams depending on varius things. I prefer using KClO4 as the oxydizer as i have some exsperience with this.

1. what flash powder mixture is the safest to mix under normal circumstances, store for a day og two and then ignite?
2. what flash powder mixture has the highest expanding rate / is the most powerful?
3. what would you recomend giving these two factors?

4. what is the reactions formula for the recomended flash powder (if its not obvius)

I have before tried with KClO4 and P as this shuld be the best of what i havde herd, but i dont like to work with P, so im looking for an alternative.

hope you can help me, if you need futher information just ask.
I apologize for my english, and hope you understand.
