Red star lithium carbonate

hi,

I just made a lot of stars based on lithium carbonate.

I replaced strontium with lithium.

I find the color beautiful.

here is the formula I use:

Potassium chlorate 70

Lithium carbonate 15

redgum 10

charcoal 1

dextrin 4

I know that stars with chlorates should not be in contact with sulfur. I ask myself how to use sulfur-free meals.

 

I could use the h3 for the bursting charge. But for safety I prefer an insulating layer. I could use a load-based black powder in this way

I find it a bit pinkish, but I have also made stars with lithium carbonate. I think it's pretty OK at low temperatures.

I dusted these stars with the following composition:

 

kno3 35

charcoal 25

kclo4 35

dextrin 5

The end looked very purple. I've always been pretty critical of lithium stars, but they looked good. If you ever try them in the air, I'd be interested.

I stressed on the UKPS board already a couple of years ago that you can use lithium instead of strontium in purple stars and have a very good result. Lithium on its own is a bit harder.
