- I've heard that teflon powders are used for illumination and flash
- enhancers in both stars and flash compositions.
-
- Does anyone have experience with teflon? How about some recipes?
-
- One source claims that if 25% teflon powder by weight is added to a flash
- cracker composition, the need for a sturdy casing is eliminated. In
- fact, the source claims that no casing is needed, and that the powder
- will detonate when ignited in the open air. Fact or Fiction?
