I often get requests for the brocade formula I use. I would say it's my formula, but I developed it right back into a very common formula. It took me the better part of two years to rediscover Chrysanthemum 8
The formula below is pretty close to Chrysanthemum 8 plus the metals. It's about where I want it. I milled the nitrate, airfloat charcoal, and sulfur for about 30 minutes only because my nitrate is coarse. Dextrin would probably work fine too.

What is the difference between brocade and willow diadem? They look very similar to me?

The brocade effect is typically of a shorter duration and has a fine lacey silver or gold appearance. A true willow is a long lasting and drooping effect most typically of the charcoal type. It can be variegated though with the inclusion of metals. Diadem refers to a crown and a willow diadem is a willow ending with colored jewels.

In relation to needed a "jewel", I'd say a diadem needs that. One without would just be a crown willow or crown crysanthemum. I know a lot of these things are laid out in the PGI competition rule book, but I'm sure there is a different source.

I was just searching for a brocade formula and this was the only hit...
Please feel free to write your opinion:
-I only have commercial (the usual Nitroparis stuff sold by several vendors in Europe) airfloat pine charcoal.
When I use it with nitrate from the blender - what size of stars would you chose for a 4" shell?
-I want a long hangtime
-since my mill is very small I want to avoid any ballmilling.
-my experience with flitter aluminum (that is usually wax coated) is that it affects the binding of a star, I would prefer atomised stuff. Is there any experience with swapping this in instead, and what size would you chose?

Sponge? Flake?

airfloat charcoal Is not the wery best for kamuro or/and Willow
Because it's too fine or too coarse, what do you mean?
