Not yet. I have just tested them in my star gun. I will probably use this composition for Easter. :)

No, I use H3 as a burst, so I don't prime stars with BP. But if you use BP as burst, you can of course prime it with a final BP layer.

You could probably use magnalium or aluminium instead of silicon. Some kind of metal is probably needed for this stars.

I use this stars as my main red star comp. I replace the parlon with PVC and the Mg with MgAl, add 5% Dex and roll with water/Alcohol.
For prime I use my own prime - BP/MgAl based (and a small BP layer over this prime.)

had very good results with this.
