Dan, it JUST occurred to me what may have been happening with your other
formulae.
I've noticed but not noted that everyone is cutting their crackle into
TINY little cubes.
Crackle works best between 10-mesh and 6-mesh sizes; we center ours
around 8-mesh -- roughly 3/32". When it's smaller, the smoulder phase
can fail to heat the constituents to the explosion temperature. Too
large, and the surface spalls with multiple tiny explosions.
