No RIO. Our grains burn quite fast and nice without it. No need for faster
burning rate. Burning time, between 1.2 and 1.4 seconds.

Did they have RIO tho?

It sounds like another advantage of sorbitol (KNSB) and production by
melting without using water: reduced sensitivity to this sort of

You are spot on Ray. When completely dry, the burn rate raises to
stability when stored was the reason I gave up on sugar based fuels. It
might be possible to store the grains in a humidore with your cigars. But
the best advice I can give is to use the sugar fuel fresh in order to
achieve stable results. I cant recommend using an excicator.

If they are stored in an airtight box with calcium chloride
supresses burn rate, so it it is removed, it can cause catos.

as well I think, no RIO tho, they aren't cracked. The cato'ing also was
happening with the small rammed powder motors(similar age) which I highly
doubt would be able to develop cracks.

that had RIO in it and they all katoed. I also has some old powdered fuel
used for making hand rammed motors and the the motors that I make now with

RIO catalises some side reactions that makes the fuel become unstable?
Anyone able to shed some light on what's going on here?
