FlaMtnBkr Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Maybe try adding 5-10% Ti to your Dragon eggs so they have a bit of visual 'pop'. Haha! No? Anyways, that's assuming your Ti is sufficiently fine which it looks like it probably is. About 60 mesh and finer Ti should work well and give a nice pop of sparks from each egg. There are also some formulas for a compound to cover the egg with that makes a smoldering shell that bursts in a spray of sparks but I've found just adding some Ti to the egg 'dough' looks great, is super easy, and can't imagine the other looking much better. I've wondered if just a glitter or charcoal formula with added Ti and 1 or 2 percent of cab-o-sil would look good as a prime that bursts in a shower of sparks or basically the same thing. The cabosil tends to make a 'clinker' ash that should hold the prime in a nice shell instead of falling away as it burns and should hold the heat in and help light the egg all at once which is important for max loudness. Anyways, just thinking out loud a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
