pyrotechnic binders


Has anyone have any good combinations with easy to make binders
Such as casein from milk
Nitrocellulose from ping pong balls
Gypsum binder for casting thermite
Epoxy and acetone
And the one that's to get to work is a binder from bubble gum
Ive only been able to get the nitrocellulose binder to work right

For KNO3 and sugar (R-Candy), I add about +1.5-2% of dextrin to the total mass. Dextrin can be made by baking corn starch in the oven for about an hour until golden. It makes one hellacious mess in the kitchen though...
