nitrogen content of "magicians flash paper"

John paul III - 14-3-2019 at 17:37

I was wondering what is the nitrogen content of the flash paper marketed as a tricksters item. It seems to leave no residue upon combustion but that's not a good indication of the degree of nitration. Has anyone here compared high quality homemade nc with this stuff or could otherwise share some knowledge?

12 percent is about what they use. Homemade can have more.
