Thats what you call going down in flames isnt it Steve? It certainly burns with a vengeance. Friend of mine was demonstrating some magnesium welding rod to a couple of friends just the other day when one of them asked about this whereupon he tried to show them how well it burns by applying a match to the rod. I commented he would probably burn his fingers whereupon he switched to the gas torch and in about 7 or 8 seconds it burst into flame spattering all over the floor. I believe today its always mixed with aluminium or has aluminium impurities for a startoff. B.r., David
