Let's Discuss this with the Mag. issue! After asking around and looking at some Mag. Properties and so on... When you used the powder it probably encrusted the magnesium, but it stayed hot and was able to continue to smolder due to its oxidizing ability. Once the crust was broken it might have caused the rekindle

This is a good discussion ! Todd McKee

Todd,

Would this occur even after a few days the magnesium having the opportunity of cooling? If so, would the fire automatically rekindle once the water is applied to clean the residue off..even if the magnesium has cooled? Furthermore, would I be correct to assume the dry powder only remove the O2, but does not cool the metal?

My question when is mag considered a chemical? At what state? Now that could be the great debate!
