I have been trying to make nitrate papers so that I can make paper cartridges for my IAB 1863 sharps replica...I soaked some tracing paper in a container with pot..nitrate (salt peter) in water for around 15 minutes. I them let the sheets of paper completely dry....I tried burning some of paper to test it....it burned...did not flash...burned like a ember until consumed...is this normal...maybe the black powder explosion...would consume the paper...note...the paper seemed to burn faster without the nitrate...any help or comment would be appreciated...
