The exponent is the issue with these oxidizers.
I remember the same thing. I think I measured the exponent around 0.65, which
is high, but not impossible to handle in hobby motors which can be designed
with huge safety margins. Part of your problem may have been the small size.
18mm is unforgiving. I made 2.5" J motors. They worked fine. It was an
interesting experiment.
