In a fit of stupidy I got two powders crossed in the dispenser. Ok, no harm as it was caught but......
Hmm, I have ice on the step out front, lets see what it will do (if I have done this I had forgotten)
Took the powder laid it out in a 1 ft run, carefully lit it off with a torch.
Hmm, nice fizzle, very slow, had expected a faster burn. Just slowly ate its way down the length. Cool. Didn't melt the ice much. Didn't jump down to the end and come back the side or over top of ice, just nice slow steady burn. I guess if I want to have a fuse black powder is the way to go (no I don't want to do a fuse I am just pondering)
And then the torch won't turn off, the throttle knob is jammed. Ok, screw the torch off the bottle.
It was interesting it kep burning for 5 seconds or so, more gas and pressure held in the head than I would have thought.
