Please note that the color blue is the hardest color to achieve in pyrotechnic chemistry. Skylighter truly has some great building ideas and materials. Please check them out as you won't be disappointed. Besides with all the holiday time coming up, what a better time to build something!

This is a fun one, a blue fountain formula with some added metal flake. The formula calls for steel but there's some notes from Harry on how he likes to use titanium. Harry also notes a simple chemical substitute that lets you turn this blue formula into red or green.

Play around with it yourself and let us know how your fountains turn out!
