If you are unfamiliar with a composition it is best to make a small
test batch of a few or 10 grams. If it blows up on you it will not
kill you. With this small batch you can take a pinch and test it for
friction and impact sensitivity, so you know what you are working
with. Then make a few stars, it is easy to pump a couple this way.
See how they burn when you prime them and whether you like the effect.
A one pound batch is usually good for a couple shells. I personally
prefer to mix 10-20 pound batches and get it done with, then you have
enough stars for various types of shells.
