EW, I have never played with flash paper.... from what I have read, it is prepared by treating paper with nitric & sulfuric acids... which convert the paper to nitrocellulose.... in other words, it is a thin, flat sheet of guncotton.
I believe you when you say that it works great for combustible cartridges, but it is quite different from "traditional" nitrated paper.
