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 chemicals need to be finely powdered 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. The melted Parlon in the mixtures will coat the Magnesium Powder and prevent it from degrading. Parlon not only binds the mixture together, but it boosts the color of the flame by providing Chlorine to the burning mixture. Next, stand the tubes up end on a sheet of Aluminum Foil pump the mixture into them until they are about 80% full, insert a piece of Black Match all the way to the bottom, leaving about 1″ sticking out the top. You can also use Visco , but the ignition delay will be longer.
