Comments

This is simply Meal with 5% Ti by weight.

It produces a spray of very bright white sparks. The sparks typically crackle softly, a little (2-3%) Cryolite can enhance this somewhat.

The Meal can really be any BP variant, 6:3:1 and 6:1:1 propellants are quite common. The particle size of the Ti can also the altered, especially for devices outside the 1/2"-3/4" size range.
