Bcorso85 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 There's a new effect I want to try and it is the magnesium fueled sizzling comets. I found some formulas in AFN 3 and purchased some magnesium. Unfortunately I purchased 325 mesh. The formula calls for granular 40 mesh. Can I still make the comets, just with a lower volume, and smaller flame envelope?

californiapyro Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 at that size, it's likely the magnesium won't crackle. are you sure it's not magnalium the composition calls for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
