Pyrodex Powder

Ill try it but if I clean it with water again it never rust the second time....

Slow down and read my post again.....you missed the best part.

I just don't see how a second cleaning with water doesn't rust if the issue is water trapped in pits.... I didn't miss anything it's just not logical that sometimes it rusts because of trapped waste when the water has been the only thing I haven't changed...

Think through it logically...

Diederot's 1771 encyclopedia on chemistry states that "Spirit of wine" (ethanol) has a greater affinity for water and acids than oil, or salt.
He also states that when mixed with acids (and he goes on to reference sulfuric acid) they lose much of the acidity.

Hint:
Water when combined with salts (the byproducts of BP Combustion) form acids.

A little off topic, but I just received an email notice that Graf's is only charging $10 Hazmat fee on 4-50 lbs. Other charges apply. This might be of interest in folks following this thread and in need of BP etc.

I have no connection to them other than I've ordered a few things in the past.

 

[coloradoclyde]

Other charges apply.

I'd look more closely.. I'll bet you end up paying full price somewhere..

Like the old 10% off deals....where the price is raised 15% first.

Marketing.. :haha:

If I had the money id buy some and when I do have the money the 10 dollars won't matter.... If it was 10 dollars hazmat for any amount that would be different

 

[Grenadier1758]

The hazmat fee is only charged one time whether it is 1 pound or 50.

Given you past posts, I didn't think you would probably be interested at this time, but thought if there were other folks looking to order BP, this would be a good thread to drop the information.

Clyde, I think the "other charges" are the normal shipping charges still apply.

Now I'm not saying that this is the case with Graf, ....But, I have seen online retailers selling other goods offer discounts only to make up the difference somewhere else....Like shipping.

It pays to shop around and track prices over time....Because often what appears to be a deal, isn't... :v

I don’t disagree with the shopping around. For example, if another vender sells the same powder for $3 per pound less and ships for less and you order 10 pounds, then the hazmat fee reduction may not mean much.

 

[CapPopper]

I know but they want you to order 4 pounds or more and I can't swing that much cash

I didn’t think you would be interested at this time but I wanted to share this in case someone was contemplating a powder or caps order.
