Default Sparklers.

I am looking to tie up a few Sparklers for use on Loch Leven. Black/Silver and Dunkeld are the ones I have heard about. I will be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction for the necessary materials.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that guys. Very useful.

Any ideas on the black/silver version I keep hearing associated with "the loch"? Will the black in it be some sort of tinsel also?.

Viva sparkler works (silver tinsel replacing black wing).
Also try with red rather than green tail or silver tail but some red at the throat.
Any combination of BRS will usually work on leven.
