Ello user !!!!!

Here is your answer,

================================================

With magnesium, the oxide layer forms a white coating on the outside of the metal that will slow down or interfere with the burning process.

The ribbons should be sanded with a fine sandpaper, therefore, to remove the layer.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOUU :)
