Default potassium perchlorate

Where can I find this? I've looked in the forum on that chem list but it's not on there. I need some for flash powder, also can German dark powder be bought at a hardware store?

Can German Dark aluminum powder be bought at the hardware store? Hehehehe, no. The only place I know where you can get aluminum powder and pp is from pyro suppliers. I recomend www.unitednuclear.com

United Nuclear is good if you are under 18. Otherwise, it would be much cheaper to buy from skylighter. It is 22 dollars a pound at Skylighter, compared to 45 dollars a pound at UN. You can find aluminum at a paint/hardware store. It is spherical, and that is not that good with flash. The easiest way to get it is to grind it down with a bench grinder.
