QuickBurst sent me a sample of their new ProCast pyrogen dip kit. They are using the good hard-to-find boron and Viton that I purchased last year. I'm not making any money on this, but I wanted to let everyone know it's available.
We had a lot of discussion in the Research forum here about the benefits of the boron+KNO3+Viton (BKNO3-V) pryogen dip. Using the Viton-A raw binder is safer than pressing/hammering pellets, like the professional/military solid motors use. It has 2 to 3 times the heat and gas output compared to standard motor starters.
This kit combines everything needed to get started with 12 grams of "motor starter" dip, except for the acetone solvent. A lot less pyrogen is needed compared to other dips, but it's more expensive per gram. (Their QuickDip product is good for making a lot of igniters for general use.)
I have used BKNO3-V to:

I have used BKNO3-V to:
- Dip over an e-match for low-current motor-starters (clusters, staging, etc.)
- Dip the head of the new "clear" Estes solar starters for more reliable BP start-up.
- Dip over other motor-starters for faster/hotter ignition.
- Mold into pellets to give a lot of surface area for fast ignition of really big motors (same as the professional solids use).
