Peret Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 That was cool. I haven't seen that effect before, it must depend on the particle size of the aluminum. What was the Skylighter CH number? I have some CH0155 mixed firefly but it doesn't give that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderboy Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 the firefly i got from skylighter is CH0150 this was really a good effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peret Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 the firefly i got from skylighter is CH0150 this was really a good effectHmm, 10-12 mesh? I would have passed over that thinking it was too coarse to be any use, and too expensive at $22/pound to find out. I learn something new every day.

I learn something new every day. We just finished a group buy for S101 and S102 firefly over on Passfire, it was less then half that price and when mixed together, the effect is rather stunning. A membership over there is worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petroleum Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) the firefly i got from skylighter is CH0150 this was really a good effectThunderboy, nice effect!!!Your firefly Al is about 10-12 mesh (1000-2000 microns). I cant get the image of this type of Al from skylighter. Is your product somewhat like this:http://www.keten.com.pl/flitter.jpg On the image there is Al flitter from http://www.keten.com.pl and it is - 1000um 79% ; 2000um 21%.
