Sorry but you picked the wrong forum to ask these type of questions about blowing "stuff" up.
Well since this thread is dead ..... I am going to try and salvage it.
I am having a tough time finding chemical delay compositions.
The kind one would find in a flashbang fuse assembly.
From what I understand it needs to put out minimal amount of gas as it is going to be confined in a tube.
Any suggestions ?

What? What's wrong with this thread? The OP's post disappeared?
elementcollector1 - 14-6-2013 at 21:02
They do that sometimes. It's annoying, because now we have to send this to Detritus (although we were likely to anyway). This thread is now too
impaired to be relevant to anything.

The thread seen opened by Yzhfdf But first post is Motherload's 
Did Yzhfdf's
post delete ?
My guess He opened new thread and from the edite menu deleted own post

Congratulations mother load! You've won a thread!

He was asking how to make stable high explosives that could be initiated with a 3 watt laser or fuse for blowing stuff up.
Thank you all for the well wishes.
But let's see if we can salvage this thread ....
In regards to my original post that I edited.

What was he talking about? Originally.

So, this is the level of intelligence in EM, eh? Inane spammery, I say. It's a wonder any of you still have enough fingers remaining to type!

Might as well make use of this thread with a question:
So, as far as noise/sound, what is the difference between 5g flashpowder in cardboard tube and 5g ETN in cardboard tube in a pressed state, not melted
to max density. Assuming a full detonation. I know ETN explodes with much more speed, but does this always translate to louder explosion? I know there
are different kinds of noise, sound that travels farther and whatnot, but I think it is interesting, I would be interested in seeing 5g of ETN
detonate next to 5g FP, and then up to 25 grams of ETN and 25g FP side by side, not at the same time aubviously...
Fantasma4500 - 17-6-2013 at 03:16
yes golfpro..
more energy = more energy as sound
thats why blackpowder is shit for salutes also..
anyways you cannot make a ''stable'' explosive that can be initiated with as little as 3 mW laser, if it can get ignited by that then its unstable AF
(:
Finnnicus - 17-6-2013 at 03:23
AF?
DrSchnufflez - 17-6-2013 at 03:41
I think it stands for "As Fuck" 
Finnnicus - 17-6-2013 at 04:11
Thanks internet! Why do people not swear? Its the internet for godsakes!
bfesser - 17-6-2013 at 05:04
Because many of you are only 13 or 14 years of age, and are afraid that your mothers will discover your forum accounts and scold you for your choice
of wording. Some of us refrain from swearing, because we try to maintain a certain level of decorum and amateur-professionalism (How's that for an
oxymoron!?), which lends this forum and/or our bullshit speculation a bit more credibility. When's the last time you saw "lol", "IIRC", or "asshat"
printed in <em>Nature</em> or <em>JACS</em>?

Does anyone have any suggestions for time delay comps ??
Look a the first post ....
Finnnicus - 17-6-2013 at 09:00
Like gunpowder but chlorate burns pretty slow. Maybe press it?
Motherload - 18-6-2013 at 19:59
Too much gas. When confined .... burn rate goes dramatically up.
Just like dried toilet paper saturated with KNO3.
chemcam - 18-6-2013 at 23:04
I don't know what kind of time delay you need but strontium nitrate works really well for making slow fuse, it is what I use for delay in my mortar
shells. The only demo I have made so far is a piece of paper soaked then dried in it. Here: Strontium Nitrate Paper. You can even use the mix of Sr(NO3)2+KClO4 straight from an emergency roadside flare once you filter out the insoluble
stuff, I have a video on that as well somewhere on my channel.
Finnnicus - 19-6-2013 at 01:56
My tiny cannon I made used to run on Chlorate, and it didn't burn fast enough! Just sort of 'shhhhhh' for about 2 seconds. Sensitised with a tiny
amount of RedP it is more like actual black powder.
hyfalcon - 19-6-2013 at 01:59
If I need a delay, I just use a layer of star composition. That mix is designed to burn not deflagrate like BP does. I made the mistake of adding
too much in a 1/2" rocket and it ended up nose down in the ground before the report went off. Live and learn I always say.
Fantasma4500 - 19-6-2013 at 05:22
for delay you can use rocket candy, but you wanna coat the tip of this with something more senstive to heat (perhaps rocket candy: golden powder 1:1
by volume)
if you use 19.5 KNO3 7.5 Sucrose 3 Sirup by weight
at one point during heating of this +100*C when it cools down you will realise its still relatively soft, meaning it will be quite easy to press to
fit tubes of any kind more than just easily..
you could put a little hole in this and add RC/GP mix, that should make a brilliant delay composition..
adding iron oxide will also further sentisize the RC plus it will burn abit faster
