In a previous article potassium perchlorate was mentioned as an ingrediant of a rocket formula. THIS SHOULD NOT BE USED IN ANY PYROTECHNIC DEVICE. Chlorate and Perchlorate compounds are powerful oxidizers and may ignite and/or detonate spontaniously when mixed and/or packed with other compounds. A much better (safer) choice is potassium nitrate which is the choice of the experts (fireworks manufacturers). Better safe than sorry, Werner B. P.S. I can recomend some exellant reading on this topic if anyone is interested.
