actually it does kinda look like whistle with a very slight amount of
fine rough bp to slow it down, which would explain the color, the
little black specks could be tiny pieces of course charcoal mixed in.
If you separate the black flakes from a small amount of powder it
burns a bit faster in the atmosphere. However, like you said its kinda
rare to find whistle in the chinese shells, but like I said ive never
seen this stuff before. Anybody got a picture of loose benzolift? I
know somebody on this group just recently started working with it
again, but I forgot who. One thing i can say is there are a lot less
people on here asking how to make M-80's and fountains out of large
type CO2 containers than when I was posting. Thats good with all the
mess about. I see that nobody has yet to reach the 100' claim of
clarks giant fountain, thats a tedious process I wouldnt mess with
these days anyway, back in my 20's I was curious.
