Cool! So you are using Aluminum Oxide and Pottasium Hydroxide?

Im assuming its going to be for solid rockets right?

Currently gathering materials, I have the motor casings (cardboard tubes), and thats about it

Turns out I was using the incorrect terminology for what I was using to ignite my propellant

Apparently its a "punk"

My ignition box is finished! It has been tested with the right ignitors and fuel mixture! Next step is the engine! Due to fears of the tube catching ablaze, epoxy will be used as a ablative substance for cooling in the engine.

So quick update, I've fired off 3 motors as of late, the most successful had a mild rud about 3/4ths of the way though the burn, causing the washer I'm using as a makeshift nozzle to fly off the motor.

Note that this was from a tripod, I'm not standing anywhere near this

Note: the first image wasn't the same test as the second, but it was a good picture
