    Haven’t used this particular aluminum for awhile. Planning some projects for this winter. Just a small amount is needed to get the dogs barking. (Just kidding) Great product from a reputable source, thanks FWCB. HF.

    Indian Blackhead Aluminum powder is the way to go, it’s more affordable than the German Eckart Dark Aluminum and has very good power, an unconfined 0.1 gram mixture containing Indian Blackhead made my punk stick quake, will be using this for reports and booster flash for my 1.75″ colored star shells.
