What can I make with....

30 October 2010 - 01:25 PM

Hi Folks,

Just a quick one, I am a 40yr old and basicly new to this. I am looking to start off my making some sort of firework to impress the kids and my brothers on bonfire night. Yeah I know DIY is not safe, that is why I am asking your advice. I used to load my own 38 shells and also had 12g, so I am used to handling powder. What I want to know (and if poss a very basic "how to") is what I can make with this and as I do not have scales, assume a 5 pence piece as a spoon. what can I make and how...

Black Aluminum
Potassium Perchlorate
Air float charcoal powder (lumpwood) 400 mesh
Sulpher powder

and I have another ingredient that looks exactly the same as salt, but I have lost the label, is it possibly (potassium Nitrate) ?

What can I make and how do I do it ?

I would expect the first reply to be along the lines of " This is very dangerous if you dont know what your doing, so stick to buying fireworks from Asda, you could blow your fingers off, blah blah blah" if you were gona type this then please don't.

I want to learn and have to start somewere !

Oh and yes I have my own ball mill.

thanks
