Thermite "key to the city":thermite: Iron oxide (rust for you noobs) Aluminum (powdered) 1-1 ratio epoxy: yes, epoxy mix your thermite 1-1 ratio ad the epoxy in a very thin liquid mixture. mix vigorously till well blended. Shape charges as needed. wrap a thin strip of magnesium around a green hobby fuse at one end. place the magnesium end of your hobby fuse into your shape charge. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Magnesium strips are notoriously unreliable for starting the reaction. Unitednuclear sells a thermite ignition mixture, works very well I hear.

theres about 1000 ways to do it with 100% success, the quality of your mix and the density of it in the epoxy plays a big role.flash paper (flash powder on tissue paper) is another good way ot achieve success. if not, tip your fuse with a flare mixture (break open a flare, coat the powder with medical alcohol to create a sludge and coat fuse with sludge and wait to dry) trust me, its not hard to get lit but its a safe enough compound to carry with you. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

"theres about 1000 ways to do it with 100% success, the quality of your mix and the density of it in the epoxy plays a big role.alicestar is pretty knowledgeable about this subject, I was just wanting to add that acetone can also be used to make a paste with the flare mixture and gunpowder. I find that acetone dissolves the mixture more quickly and flashes off faster, cutting down on drying time. Even better is xylene or MEK but they can be hard to come by. Do you find this valuable? |

I also forgot to add that thermite can be used to both cut and weld. By adding air vents to the delivery system you are adding oxidation to the process, very similar to squeezing the O2 valve on a cutting torch. By removing air vents the slag cools more quickly and can weld metal objects together, which is good for tacking together for improvisation or for sabotaging enemy machinery.

MEK is sold at Ace hardware btw. Ummm, I think all those peroxide explosives are a bad idea cuz arnt the like shock and shaking senistive? Maybe we should put up "Improvised Munitions Handbook" made by the DOD. And can one of you delete like the table of contents that leads to the explosive recipes that aren't there, I'd do it myself, but I'm not an admin and afraid of reddy :)

Like I said before on an earlier thread all explosives must be treated with the same respect you would give a god, you fuck up at the wrong place or the wrong time it will take your hands,face, or your life. There have been people injured in the business that have not been close enough to the blast to get vaporized or even any visable external injuries, but instead have received internal injuries from the concusion, including ruptured testicles...ouch. We don't have any ACE hardwares near here. Do you find this valuable? |

Haha, well too bad those are precursors too. I'd still avoid those try like Picric acid/lead picrate/DDNP , HTMD or TACC (Tetramminecopper(II) Chlorate). Picric acid requires nitric acid unfortunately. Other two don't. I haven't tried these btw I got them from the Improvised Munitions Handbook which is pretty reliable. I mean it was written by the Government.
