Go Getters

Go Getters are essentially rocket propelled stars. They are used in

an aerial shell or in the head
of a rocket and when ignited, they burn with a brilliant color
(brilliant because the formulas
all contain Magnesium powder) and shoot across the sky.
Lit on the ground or in the air, they will fly off in a random direction
with their bright tail fire.
The Magnesium in these formulas will not degrade because of the
unique solvent used.

Comments:
The chemicals are first finely powered (if they are lumpy or
coarse crystals) then mixed well together.
For the next step, you'll need a small squeeze bottle,
similar to those plastic squeeze ketchup bottles you find in
a restaurant. Take the mixed formula and slowly add
Acetone (while mixing) until it has the consistency of
pancake batter. The Acetone will melt the Parlon in the
mixture making it plastic & gooey. Be sure to test the
squeeze bottle you are going to use first by putting some
Acetone in it. Acetone will also melt many plastics, so make
sure your squeeze bottle isn't going to melt too.
The melted Parlon in the mixtures will also coat the
Magnesium Powder and prevent it from degrading. The
Parlon here not only binds the mixture together, but it
 boosts the color of the flame by providing Chlorine to the
burning mixture. Next, stand some M-80 tubes up end on a
sheet of Aluminum Foil. Pump the mixture into them until
they are about 80% full. If they are to be used in shells or
rocket heads, insert a piece of Black Match (that's
Quickmatch with the outside paper removed) all the way to
the bottom, leaving about 1" sticking out the top. You can
also insert a piece of Visco Safety Fuse, but the ignition
delay will be longer. Let them dry for 3 to 4 days.
When lit, they will burn with a brilliant colored flame and
shoot off in a random direction. Be very careful if you light
one on the ground. It can launch in an unpredictable
direction... and with its burning hot Magnesium flame,
ignite whatever it lands on
