Yes i would be interested in fuse and at the same time how about AP and KP. If we could get together a decent order then this would benifit everyone.

Safety glasses is another must.  Some type of shock resistant type with UV protection if working with the more sensitive and powerful Mg flashes, which should not be tampered with until years upon years of building up safety habbits. 

Read Lloyd Sponenburgh's book on ball milling and about his accident with Mg.  It was a small sized batch of Mg and Cab-o-sil just mixing.  I believe only 100g.  He could have been blinded if his regular glasses did not have the UV protection.

Guys when working with this stuff you have to think of every possible little thing that can go wrong and then ways to prevent that one thing from going wrong.

Yes this is very powerful when compared to most AL mixes. If one follows all the usual proceedures that are used when making flash then using MG makes no difference. I always thoughly mix the non oxidiser ingreediants before adding the metal powder. Diaper mixing is the safest but not the most thorough on its own . Having mixed with metal powder you can run through a fine mesh seive by just tapping on the edge thus avoiding friction.I have found that the screen used in anti splatter guards used over frying pans to work well. Cheep and usually made of non sparking Alluminium.Good formula on request.

I get it from a local chemical supplier at ?10 for 100g which is a total rippoff
Not to mention it's not a fine powder as they say....more like 4Fg BP
