Jakenbake Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 How did you plan on making them? Cut, rolled or pressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYRONEEZEKIEL Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Is there any way you can get a hold of magnesium or magnalium? You have most of what you need, but mgal really helps red comps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyco_1322 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yeah if you had some magnalium, you'd be making great red stars. I'd suggest getting some 325 mesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krakra Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 KClO4 / Sr(NO3)2 / red gum / shellac / PVC220 / 155 / 75 / 25/ 40 DIDN'T TEST MYSELF, copied from a list I have. Pretty sure that PVC may be replaced with Parlon, but exact amoun should be tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
