pyrokid Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Troll or just ignorant? You have demonstrated that you are nowhere near experienced enough to handle flash. Please stick around to read and learn so you don't lose an arm. Quit making pipe bombs. Those aren't fireworks, and only give our legitimate hobby a black eye. The right way involves proper grammer and strict adherence to safety protocol, as well as a basic understanding of fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) What kind of black powder have you made? The reason I ask is because if you have made say corned powder you must know a desent amount about it, however if you have just made green mix then your pretty new to this hole thing.Like pyrokid said stay away from pipe bombs.Please don't take this the wrong way, but I do think your not ready for flash powder; however I'm not a pro in pyrotechnics by any means and I haven't made flash powder so I can't really help you with it.bob Edited March 16, 2013 by bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumbles Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 No one with a brain in their head should even consider helping you with this. Take a step back and keep reading. Also, for future reference asking about pipe bombs again is a fast way to get yourself banned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
