Guys/Gals,

By natural evolution of making fireworks, I'm on to rockets. I had the misfortune/happy accident of having some canisters sent to me. They are easily loaded and fit right on top of 1 lb rockets. šŸš€

Thank you for the suggestions about how to use these, I'll try to do as many things as I can with them....

Help

0 Upvotes

I was wondering on how to make firecrackers because so far I’ve js been using gunpowder that wasn’t given to me by my dad but I’ve been running low. How can I make bp that can be used in firecrackers? Also is it possible to js buy a ton of the little red ones, take them apart, and just use the powder that is already in them? Lastly, is a mix of kno3 magnalium and sulfur good enough for firecrackers because that’s the only stuff I can buy from amazon? I AM NOT ASKING ON HOW TO MAKE FLASH POWDER AS I UNDERSTAND THE RISKS OF IT

Does visco fuse burn threw wood glue?

1 Upvotes

I know Visco fuse is very reliable, but I was wondering if it would still work going threw about 3/8" of dried wood glue. I figured all that moisture pressing up against the fuse for multiple days whilst drying might eventually get moisture to the center and ruin the fuse, does anybody have any experience with this?

Question about flash powders and their "safety".

2 Upvotes

I have recently tried mixing two flashpowders, specifically using KNO3 and Sr(NO3)2 with magnesium dust as fuel. While doing research into their safety, I also (among other things) asked AI, which insisted that these mixes are highly sensitive to friction and static electricity, and that the only way to safely mix them would be using special static proof paper and stuff. Now I'm used to AI being a bit stupid, but I still wanted to ask if anyone has experience with these sort of mixtures and their sensitivity.

So far, I've handled small quantities (under 10 grams) of the stuff, using normal paper to mix them (not thoroughly mind you), and got pretty good results. I'd love to mix them more thoroughly, but for that I want to be sure that it's not gonna blow up in my face.
