    Hey man I have a question it maybe stupid but please I’d really appreciate you shedding some light on this. The comment up there somewhere about parts, he says 101 parts was confusing. I think I understand the parts but you say you made a 500 gram batch wouldn’t it need to be 505 grams basically 101 parts call it 101 grams break it down 64 grams blah blah is this correct?

    • @goodmaro
      @goodmaro Год назад

      I've done a similar mixture (Na salicylate rather than K benzoate type, stearic acid instead of petroleum jelly) in an open aluminum pie tin with a wooden spoon, outdoors, adding solvent as needed to keep the mixture stirrable. I sieved only 3 times. It takes much longer to dry -- a week and it still smelled of the mineral spirit. Stearic acid gave a much stiffer dried compo than vaseline does.
      I've also done it with no carrier solvent at all in a zip-lock bag, dunking the closed bag as needed in a hot water bath to keep the petroleum jelly fluid. The petroleum jelly went in to coat the bag first. Mineral oil is an alternative I haven't tried yet to dissolved petroleum jelly.
      I'm not sure whether any of these methods is safer than the one I used to use, wherein I first smeared petroleum jelly over the sieve, then sieved the KClO4 thru that, then the salicylate. If we're going to be sieving the complete mixture anyway, where is the anti-friction action of the petroleum jelly most needed? I'd assume the pushing of the compo against the metal of the sieve is where lubrication is most needed; the compo also picks up the lubricant on each passage thru it.

      Though not a sensitive as flash or strobe fuel, whistle is indeed a mixture that must be treated with respect. That being said, using valseline dissolved in lacquer thinner greatly desensitizes the fuel and makes screening much safer.

      ​@@bombayjamesgabriel4800 I'm not a professional in pyrotechnics, but I work at a pharmacy as of right now. As you may know, potassium chlorate is a more potent oxidizer and therefore much stronger for fireworks. I do not know of any comparable compound that could replace it other than what he was using in the video which was potassium perchlorate. Chlorate>Perchlorate in terms of potency, but in turn more dangerous and I'm not sure how that would affect the pressing or anything else, I could probably ask my pharmacist very non-conspicuously.
