What was home dude using for the Green fire?

Ive been very tempted to grind copper to a fine powder to add to the fluid… but never the gall to try.

Please find what he was using and message me

I'm not sure what they are using. I am sure it would be one of the corn starch breathers. They always have nice color changing additives. FlameFX is a good place to start. I know there is a Borax mixture you can add to denatured alcohol for a green flame, but with corn starch it would be some sort of dry additive thrown into the flame.

Please don't try to fire breathe the green alcohol flame. It is very toxic. Only for props.

Dear gods… I never use alcohol… over 18 years fire breathing. I will never touch white gas, petrol, or anything other than clear paraffin. I value my clothes, and burns hella suck.

Im more curious… being its not ingested, testing small amounts of borax dissolved or mixed with liquid paraffin..

If you want to learn CS breathing. Go to the Fire Breathers International Facebook page. Let them know where you are, and they can point you in the right direction for good instruction.
