Stars of non-dye smoke compositions

I and II use a white smoke generated from the flame. White willow uses the smoke formed by the condensation of sulphur vapour without flame. The realgar allows the composition to burn smoothly. The stars of I and II are coated by an ignition composition. The white willow is manufactured as follows Form the composition into cut stars. Dry them well. Place them in a coating tub.

When it is not pressed, it smokes quite quickly and this is used for stars of the daylight yellow chrysanthemum(Fig.79). In this case the composition can be used without consolidation or granulation.
