It is mixed bright and dark aluminums. Basically if you use more coarser
aluminums the effect will burn slower and tail more, while the finer grades will
make it burn faster and tail less. Also with more dark aluminum the stars will
roll more easily. You want to hit a happy medium of ease in handling, burning
speed, and richness of the effect.
Please appreciate that the compositions in this particular table originally
called for aluminums of Japanese manufacture that are not available here.
Accordingly the grades specified in the table represent domestically available
approximations of the original Japanese grades.
The grades given in the table are not graven in stone. Thus the poster here who
seemed obsessed with the notion that Reade #100 was the key to success with
nishiki botan ought to recognize that other bright aluminums will give a
comparable effect. You have to try things for yourself and understand that a
perfect result is rarely served up to you on a silver platter without any effort
necessary on your part.
