If magnesium powder is already partially oxidized, will it still burn? Zinc powder?

The smoke produced when zinc burns is very toxic. Welders get sick when working galvanized sheet metal.

Yes to your first ? but its better if not.

Are you getting cabin fever in Maine? Take a walk before you place any orders.
