Ok I'm aware that there are certain color chemicals that are water
soluble therefore I can use these to soak wood products and hence get
color flames.
What I'm unclear about is using non-water soluble color chemicals for
the same purpose, that require a chlorine donor and a solvent to make
a solution.
For example some color chemical are only soluble with methyl alcohol
or acetone, both highly flammable substances. But these solvents are
required if I want to use cholrine donors such as parlon, saran,
chlorowax,etc.
So can non-water soluble color chemicals/cholrine donors/solvent
solutions be used to soak wood chips etc for color flames like the
water soluable ones?
Obviously these would be allowed to dry out way before use.
I know this may be a simple question (or perhaps even dumb) to you
more experienced pyro's but I couldn't really fine a definitive
answer by googling rec.pyro
