But when you have to ask "...is calcium stearate like calcium chloride because they are both calcium salts?" I'm calling out "BS". I think you are too uneducated to be cook book mixing up propellants in your garage and trying to load it into cases. You're going to blow yourself up. At the very least your going to get the stuff all over your clothes. Wear gloves and an apron. Sheesh.

And stay the hec away from zinc/sulfur micrograin.



I agree with Wolfram. This is not the right forum to be asking questions about amataure rocketry motor making. Zn/S is not something you really don't want to mess with. All in all, if you aren't taking extreme measures to be safe, you can win a Darwin Award. Play it safe at all costs.
