Dragon Eggs
Crackling Micro Stars

A collection of compositions I've gathered over the years from the Internet, Books & Personal Correspondence. 
Generally when using the Bismuth based formulas listed below the Bismuth Trioxide or Bismuth Sub Carbonate can be interchanged 1:1 without any ill affect

Potassium Perchlorate Dragon Eggs Prime

An initial priming with a hot Perchlorate Prime using Acetone or Alcohol as wetting agent is necessary for reliable & consistent results

Lead Based Dragon Eggs

An initial priming with a hot Perchlorate Prime using Acetone or Alcohol as wetting agent is necessary for reliable & consistent results
Binder for the Egg Composition is Nitrocellulose Lacquer

Lead is very Toxic and Harmful
Lead is a cumulative toxicant that affects multiple body systems, it can enter the body via Inhalation, Consumption or Absorption so cover up, wear a mask or preferably a respirator, safety glasses, gloves and long sleeves
Lead in the body is distributed to the brain, liver, kidney and bones. It is stored in the teeth and bones, where it accumulates over time. Human exposure is usually assessed through the measurement of lead in blood.
There is no level of exposure to lead that is known to be without harmful effects.

Crackling Flowers

The Japanese call them Crackling Flower Stars to distinguish them from ordinary Crackling Stars. The star contains a crackling star core made from either a traditional lead based composition or a bismuth based composition. In both cases the crackling core compositions are wetted with NC lacquer and granulated through a 8 mesh sieve twice. After drying the bigger granules are separated from the finer on a 10 mesh sieve and the result should be granules about 2-2.5 mm. The cores are then coated with a special prime and a titanium spark composition is then added by rolling
