Need advise on Powder making.

[Hammerdhed]

Hey All,
I've been having just a little trouble finding sulfur hereabouts.
I guess the days of finding it in every harware store around are gone.
I bought some "Hi-Yeild" dusting sulfur today. When I got it home I noticed that it's 90% sulfur and 10% inert ingredients. Will this stuff make a decent powder?
I'm a lil worried about whatever "inert" ingredients they might have used and the effects they might have in my smokepoles.

The discussion of making powder is forbidden on the Forum.

Well thanks for pointing that out. Until now it never occured to me that it would be forbidden.
Now that I've read the rules I'll be sure not to ask such questions in the future. No harm meant at all, at all.

 

No, harm, no foul. If you are still interested, search Google under Model Rocketry. G.P. is big on those sites, as it's one of their primary fuels. Bill

Here's what I'd do with sulfer powder. Keep it dry. When there's an open wound, apply liberally. Wrap wound. See doctor. They use to do that in WW II. Works today too.

Don't make BP. Losing your house & home isn't worth the $ you may save. Besides, quality won't be as good as commerical powder. Finally, help keep GOEX in business. Buy & shoot their powder. :thumbsup:
