YT2095 Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 I bet it would be an effective trick to throw some barium chlorate to a campfire. It would probably scare the living $hit out of people. why waste good Barium, dissolve some boric acid in meths, that gives a lovely green flame at a fraction of the cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Umm, does it give off the flame WHEN you dissolve it, or when you burn the mixed solution? Even though, a burn from a green flame is more cool than a burn from a basic flame, but I think I wouldn't like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 it`ll only burn if you light it, methyl borate`s great in spirit burners too around halloween, it`s like a green flame candle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 So, if I had some methyl orange/blue and boric acid, that's all I need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 no no, meths (methalated spirits) alcohol, that nasty smelling purple stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Oooooh... Right. That conversation reminded me of a certain Friends-episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
