LTUPyro Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Oh sorry LTUPyro I am talking about Tomek's composition.I tried similar comp.60% Ba(No3)220% Mg (I used MgAl instead of Mg)20% PVCIt's pretty bright and nice comp. This compostion also works if you change Ba(No3)2 with Sr(No3)2 for red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zumber Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Thank you LTU for sharing this composition......I don't have MgAl but I have Mg,so i am looking for suitable binder for this composition.Nitrocellulose in acetone will be a good choice.

LTUPyro Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 It should, I used +5% Red Gum and binded with acetone, stars were fully dry in like 30 minutes. Also this comp lights pretty hard so you need good prime, I used thin layer75% Kclo413% Charcoal12% Red Gumand then little thicker layer of Meal D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
