ok kind of strange situation but I'm using them with wax in a fire to get them to burn a color. basically, I want to make colored pine cone fire starters. I did see a purple flame but no for long and like I said it took a long time and heat to activate it. can you think of another chemical that would burn a purple flame / low temp/ low hazard/ with a wax coat to accelerate when in fire?
Obviously I"m not a chemist or anything close. So I REALLY appreciate your patience and knowledge.
Thanks!!
