First test comparing regular sugar rockets with my own chlorate and hexamine mix. Added in a test of another surprise mix I added mostly as a joke. I'm open to suggestions for improvement.
Firstly, you suck at safety :> Try to avoid breathing in the gases from Cl based oxidizers and, please, get a test stand not to hurt yourselves, strain gauges aren't expensive and you can measure thrust reliably, and with a proper holder - safely. Please start with a proper testing setup. Once you are safe, first focus on creating an engine design that will be able to withstand the combustion parameters your propellant mixture creates. Don't try to increase the burn rate if pieces of your nozzle fly around, you will only blow it all up. Further down the road would be a motor casing from something more durable and possibly reusable (fiberglass, cf, aluminium), and a nozzle that can withstand the combustion temperatures and the abrasive flow of the exhaust of your chlorate based propellant mixture. For the nozzle use graphite or some stainless steel, although steel is kinda heavy for most flight applications. With a reusable motor casing and nozzle you will be able to test more easily, just by cleaning the engine's insides and filling it with whatever mixture you please. Good luck!
I commented before, but it's gone now. Cool to see, I've been curious about the thrust of your chlorate hexamine engines. Btw, adding iron oxide will increase the burn rate in them too.

You seem like you know what you are talking about.
You should make some videos about this kinda stuff man
