Astro's Sizzler

A Golden Silver Sparkler Star with a Unique Hissing/Sizzling Sound
Works Best When Parlon Bound. Particle Size of the Metals Has a Large Affect on The Performance of The star, Especilally The Size of The Mag/Al. Courser Mag/Al (20 - 60m) Produces a Loud Sizzling Almost Crackling Sound While Finer Grades Produces a Sizzling/Hissing Sound. I have Noticed that Course Mag/Al does tend to Crackle a Little in Fountain and Star Comps and I beleive That Effect is Enhanced by the Chlorine present From The Parlon.

These Stars Need a Hot Fast Burning Prime to Work Properly as They Seem to Work Best When The Whole Star is Lit. When Testing, Stars Shot From The Star Gun that Did not Light Completely Produced a Noticably Diminished Effect.
The Prime I usually use With These Stars is Listed Below

Chemical	Quantity %
Potassium Nitrate	55
Mag/Al 70m( or any Course Grade 20 to 100mesh)	20
Titanium 20m ( or any Course Grade 20 to 60mesh)	10
Red Gum	5
Parlon	10
Gum Ararbic (If not Parlon Binding)	+2

Gum Arabic (If not Binding With Alcohol)	+2
