𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: J-J's KNO3 red
𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲: Metallic color
𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿: J-J
𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿/𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁: Red

KNO3 - 20%
SrCO3 - 30
MgAl (325 mesh) - 35%
Parlon - 15%
+ 3% PVB
+ 5% Mg if the Star shows an irregular burning

𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗲/𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Mix all ingredience together, screening would be good.

Use Ethanol as solvent, pumped stars works fine. Drytime 10mm Pumped: 3-4 autumn days.

The final hard star burns a bit pulsating with a deep red color. I Think the color is very similar to independence red, the burningtime and brightness as well.

any alternate suggestion for chlorine donor ? rather than parlon. it is difficult to get it in my country 

[TamilPyro]

You can use PVC powder instead of parlon

[WillowPineAndBoom]

Instead of pvc and parlon for chlorine donor can you use ammonium chloride?
