just make bismuth trioxide

As much as I love fireworks the acceptance of certain compound like lead tetraoxide needs to end. With what we know about lead that there is no safe level and all lead exposure causes permanent neuroligical damage. I am a big fan of hobby fireworks but even a really cool effect isn't worth damaging your body your thinking capacity or the environment

awesome dude!!!!!!!!!!! but can you please tell me where did u get lead tetraoxide please ill subscribe and rate! :)

What did you use to bind them?.. I've tried commercial NC lacquer(Aero gloss) and homemade ping pong lacquer (celluloid balls disolved in 30ml acetone per ball) both with the consistency of runny honey, added to the screened comp to a putty like consistency (about 10% by weight). But I've not had any success making DEs with bismuth trioxide.

nice one mate

the delay probs comes from the differant sized stars then?
