abbykarim Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 please forgive me as i am very new to this art, but can ematch dip be used as a priming layer on shells then dusted over with some meal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowcat1969 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 No, you don't want to use ematch dip. It is impact sensitive and is a much more energetic material. If you applied it as a prime it would likely act pretty much like a burst boost, causing a WAY too hard break resulting in either blown blind or shattered stars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyco_1322 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 On top of that it would become very expensive, very fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaak Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I only can find Ferro Silicon can i use this for Fence Post Prime? Will 5-8% works or do i need more like 10% ? I want to prime some strobe, phiko blue, independence red and emerald green stars with this prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zmuro Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) You can use single layer prime that is listed in spanish document.Single-layer prime0.30 Potassium perchlorate0.38 Potassium nitrate0.14 Charcoal, airfloat0.05 Red gum0.06 Sulfur0.09 Black iron oxide0.15 Magnalium, 63-micron, 230-mesh0.05 Dextrin You can use red iron oxide and aluminium or silicone instead of magnalium. I also use a final layer of BP over this prime. Regarding your question...the 200mesh will also work, don't worry.
