Composition Tests - Stars and Stuff
Date: 2006-05-13
Description
A few composition tests.
Some new candle composition 5:3:2 BP, milled to integrate and damp granulated to ease loading. Charged by funnel and wire into a 5 mm lance with a kitchen paper drumhead.
A few stars, 1/4" plate pumped Winokur 20 and D1 Glitter meal primed, 5 mm Chlorate Red sulfurless primed.
Comments
Worked OK.
The candle fuse composition isn't much cooler than the 6:1:1 I made it to replace, its sulfur content should probably be reduced. However I will give it a try in a candle and see how it goes with the thicker walls of the candle tube. Its burn rate seems quite acceptable.
The stars were pretty cool. I still love the sizzle/crackle of Winokur 20.
