dagabu Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) Red seems to be one of the most popular and the chems are pretty cheap but you will need to buy some stuff to make them.

madmandotcom Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) i find that bp slurry mixed with whatever dye your using and put through a comet pump works fine Edited April 9, 2011 by madmandotcom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can and will ban you for that. I would think you might want to stick with organic stars, or low metal, if you are going to be pairing them with things like tiger tail. Any particular colors in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagabu Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 what does blackpowder mixed with whatever dye you're using supposed to achieve,dyes are used for coloured smoke. That's what MMDC was saying, that simple BP with Easter egg dye would make colored smoke. Verbal diarrhea.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondogman Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) I was thinking red and green for starters. "cut" stars, no pumps here yet. Any answers on the saran as a sub for parlon?

Bonny Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Got any instructions to go with this?? are they wet with water or what?? Thanks Steve If dextrin is the binder, then they are wetted with water. Mix the ingredients, roll/press into a patty and cut. Also, IIRC, B70 is supposed to use copper carbonate, but the formula often appears using copper oxide. I've made them with copper oxide only and they were nice anyway. I haven't tried them with carbonate as I made a ton of cores with the oxide (didn't realize how much quinoa seed was in a 1/4 or 1/2 cup when I put it into the roller ) Edited April 10, 2011 by Bonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the parent of a 21 year old MARINE who works on F-18 Super Hornets and has Asperger syndrome (look it up kids) like MMDC says he has as well, I understand that behavior modification is not only possible but necessary to the survival of an Aspie. This kid is riding the disability wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumbles Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I'd imagine everyone's condition and disabilities are different. The long and short of it is that no one is going to treat you differently than anyone else. If you cannot fully comprehend what we are saying (including sarcasm), you may not be able to fully pick up on the intricacies or dangers involved in this hobby. I'd really suggest you find other things to do with your time, as without proper mentoring, I do not believe that you have the full capacity to safely practice this hobby. Additionally, it would be questionably illegal to handle any explosives even under the supervision of a licensed mentor. Quit bringing up any sort of mental illnesses you may have, we're not going to change anything. You have to behave in a reasonable manner just like anyone else, and you wont get any special treatment. If you can't do this, you are not welcome here. You are quite disruptive here and you are seriously about to be banned for more than one reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
