I am getting ready to try dual deploy and have been looking at ways to get black powder. Seems like more trouble than it will be worth. I have searched through the forum and see that pyrodex is a viable substitute if it is properly contained so that it "explodes" rather than "smokes". How does this approach sound? I have some snap cap centrifuge tubes (1.7ml). A Quest ignitor can be inserted through a small hole at the base which is then sealed with epoxy. The appropriate amount of pyrodex is placed in the tube and then the tube is packed with dog barf to fill the empty space. Question: should the cap be taped shut? And if so, with what? Would scotch tape hold the cap shut long enough? Also, would packed dog barf be okay for keeping the pyrodex compacted? I do plan to experiment with this but any advice that would reduce the number of test cases would be great.
