I remember it used to be on the supermarket shelves.

Anyone have ready access? Or have seen it commercially in small quantities?

mix, 2:1:.5 permangate, al powder, sulphur and you get some powerful flash powder but don't store it for long as it has a habit of spontaneously blowing up.

hehe, and DONT fix to mix it with glycerol. it starts a reaction of oxygen production and flame. kinda makes it hard to extinguish a flame if its producing its own oxygen.

yeah 50 g jars in the nana-tech section of the local chemist, near the paraffin/glycerine/sulfur stuff... things its fauldings? something like hat...bout 7 bucks ... can get larger. I know every "dickheads cookbook" lists the hardware store water softener thing but I've never heard of anyone actually having any luck with that route... not to say its not stocked that way in some places though.

Stuff will stain just about anything, is toxic to worms and can go bang, take care eh?
