Ferret Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 forgot they doubled the potasiume perc from .3 to .63 when not using the magnalium and using the lactose instead So your question is answered? Try out a small test batch, I typically make 10 grams for a test batch. Make a few stars, and save some to burn in dry powder form. See if it works.

eb11 Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 quick question what determins the burn rate of a parlon star. this is what i am using for a red star i took out the magnalium and increased the perc to .6 but there was no color i forgot about the lactose but i think that would have given me a bluer red i am guessing. when i took out the magnalium the star burned alot longer so any help is appretiated Component Red Potassium perchlorate 0.3 Magnalium 0.3 Strontium carbonate 0.2 Calcium carbonate Barium carbonate Copper carbonate Parlon 0.15 Red gum 0.05 Lactose 0.05 0.05 0.05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
