Here's a couple of obser...

Re: Please put your "I am new and need help" question here.

Mark, I bought the lithium chloride specifically for it's methanol flame coloring capability. Strontium nitrate produces red as well. My two faves are lithium for cherry red and boric acid for the ghostly green. I'll have to give copper a try. Is there some specific copper salt you would recommend e...

Re: Please put your "I am new and need help" question here.

Hi guys! I'm REALLY happy the valveless forum is as large as it is. Yeah I'm prolly going to need help at some point.
