Im ordering some smoke kits soon. ill make sure to mill the powders first. same thing i just did with my last batch of BP. I milled for 8hrs at 70rpms in my ball mill I just finished. this is the best batch ever! screened it to 2f and 3f. burns perfect! Milling did the trick, the smaller the particles the better. if anybody wants to make BP or fireworks.... get or build a ball mill, blade milling for BP just didnt do the trick. words of wisdom> "Johnny was a chemist and isn't anymore, what he thought was H-2-0 was H-2-S-O-4!" great article!

It's available now at skylighter.com, product number CH8051. Our ace Cab-O-Sil packer said that when he went to rinse his hands after packing it, they stayed dry! The water ran right off of them, yet they were dry, not greasy feeling. Spooked him. Tom, we got the TS-720 and packed it. It’s available now at skylighter.com, product number CH8051.

It's designed to keep the moisture out. See Tom DeWille's note on it in the comments for this post. Pete, we recently added Cab-O-Sil TS-720 to Skylighter’s product line.

And I have found if you put your separate components in the oven for a short time @ say 175 or200' F to drive off the humidity, the stuff grinds real nice, and doesn't get gumpy in the ball mill.
