SILVER STAR #1
SOURCE: PML
COMMENTS: This is a "shower" star. The particle size of the aluminum is not very critical.
PREPARATION (parts by weight):
| CHEMICAL | PERCENT/PARTS | AMOUNT |
| Ammonium perchlorate | 0.620 | |
| Fine aluminum powder OR flake aluminum (not too coarse) | 0.210 | |
| Shellac | 0.180 | |
Total | ||
Dissolve shellac in boiling ethanol, add the other ingredients, and proceed as usual. Shellac stars take a long time to dry; try drying them in the sun. Prime with a perchlorate-based strobe prime.
