Default An extremely new, (to me), fast burning, flash!

BORIS:
I must've misread the post and though he meant using the magnesium in flash. There is no reason to call me a bitch. The only purpose that serves is to annoy me and disregard any more of your posts and comments. Also, most carriers require a hazmat fee for magnesium (or they are supposed to anyway) so thats what the hell it has to do with it.

Who among us actually takes a soda can and grinds it all the way to where it can be used in flash? I doubt any of you here do. And about "babaling:" you had 24 dots in your post with a total of 7 sentances. That qualify for "babaling?"
Edit: this is the nicer version...

<<the firestarter block of magnesium, with the flint sparker on it>>
Are you sure that it is magnesium there?The firestarters I know have a small piece of Fe/Ce alloy(you've heard of Cerium,I guess!)which is pyrophoric under special circumstances(eg.powdered and heated in air).

No, it is magnesium. Why would they call it a magnesium firestarter than.

Soda can aluminum is probably mostly Al2O3, not Al.

I know that the top and bottom of the cans are aluminum, becuase it worked in some powder i made. I am not sure about the painted part.
