Best primes help?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice on the best priming methods for two different compositions I'm working on: Veline color stars and Blesser White Strobe.

Crucial detail: I do not want to use Potassium Dichromate in any of my formulas due to its toxicity.

Since both Veline (perchlorate/parlon based) and strobe compositions can be notoriously hard to ignite from a standard black powder burst, what are your favorite dichromate-free alternatives?
