DanielC Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Cool, it looks good. I just used that comp for the first time a few weeks back and was really impressed. It has a Senco Hanabi type effect that I love.I just finished rolling another batch last night. I can't wait till I have time to build some shells and put them in the air. I feel glitter looks best if not broken too hard. Edited February 22, 2012 by DanielC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty easy to roll too. well done mate look like the top qudrant blew blind?Nice glitter even so Thanks. Yeah it looks like it either blew blind or maybe I lost a few stars when I closed the shell. I had another shell using the same batch of stars that turned out perfect, unfortunatly I didn't get video of it. Was having issues with my camera. The glitter turned out alot better then I expected since it was my first time making this comp. Edited February 22, 2012 by Xtreme Pyro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warthog Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Nice looking glitter! I would have to say that glitter stars are my favorites. That is a nice one too so I will have to try it myself. Can I get the formula for N1? Good show! Here is another one to try, Buttered Popcorn Glitter. LMK if you need/want the formula Edited February 22, 2012 by warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busspuppy Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) I just made 35 OZ of D1 . Oh well I still like it, but I will make N1 next time Warthog, I just posted the comp on PF. I had to look it up myself. But I will also post it here as it is a public formula. N1 Glitter Potassium nitrate 51, Sulfur 15, Charcoal, airfloat 10 Aluminum, atomized, 325 mesh 8 Sodium bicarbonate 12 Dextrin 4 Edited February 22, 2012 by busspuppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warthog Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks! That brings me to 65 different glitter formulae in my database. If I get a chance I really do want to try all of them but so far the best of the lot seems to be Lloyd's Buttered Popcorn. It is really nice stuff IMO.
