PyroManiac911 Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Hello, I got aluminum powder (around 350mesh lab grade) and thought to ask if grinding it in a coffee grinder with charcoal will make it work better in a flash powder composition.
Zumber Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Nope, coffee grinder doesn't work. For flash you need extreme fine mesh aluminum. You would better purchase pyro aluminum powder.
Carbon796 Posted May 21 Posted May 21 You're asking for an accident, using a coffee grinder with charcoal.
