I was thinking of what to do with pieces of ground aluminum that arent a fine powder and I tought of stars for fireworks but they would have to be bigger pieces for a long streaming star, then I thought about sparklers, everyone likes those so I was wodering if anyone knew of any sparkler recipes that use Al in them.

I have a sparkler recipe, but you need only a very small amount of Al for it:
5,5g bariumnitrate
0,5g Al-powder
2,5g granular Fe-powder
1,5g starch
Mix this with some hot water to get a mash (wrong word?). You have to put this mash on small iron sticks. The stick has to be covered completely with it. You have to wait until it is dry. We did this at school but be put too much water in it and couldn't cover the sitcks with the mash so simply took the dry powder and watched it burning on the table. Looked cool.
