How to Make Dynamite by The Jolly Roger

Dynamite is nothing more than just nitroglycerin and a stablizing

agent to make it much safer to use. For the sake of saving time, I

will abbreviate nitroglycerin with a plain NG. The numbers

are percentages, be sure to mix these carefully and be sure to use the

exact amounts. These percentages are in weight ratio, not volume.

Household equivalants for chemicles

It has come to my attention that many of these chemicles are

sold under brand names, or have household equivalants. here is a list

that might help you out. Also, see elsewhere in this Cookbook for

a more complete listing............

acetic acid vinegar

aluminum oxide alumia

aluminum potassium sulfate alum

aluminum sulfate alum

ammonium hydroxide ammonia

carbon carbonate chalk

calcium hypochloride bleaching powder

calcium oxide lime

calcium sulfate plaster of paris

carbonic acid seltzer

carbon tetrachloride cleaning fluid

ethylene dichloride Dutch fluid

ferric oxide iron rust

glucose corn syrup

graphite pencil lead

hydrochloric acid muriatic acid

hydrogen peroxide peroxide

lead acetate sugar of lead

lead tetrooxide red lead

magnesium silicate talc

magnesium sulfate Epsom salts

naphthalene mothballs

phenol carbolic acid

potassium bicarbonate cream of tartar

potassium chromium sulf. chrome alum

potassium nitrate saltpeter

sodium dioxide sand

sodium bicarbonate baking soda

sodium borate borax

sodium carbonate washing soda

sodium chloride salt

sodium hydroxide lye

sodium silicate water glass

sodium sulfate glauber's salt

sodium thiosulfate photographer's hypo

sulferic acid battery acid

sucrose cane sugar

zinc chloride tinner's fluid

Keep this list handy at all times. If you can't seem to get one

or more of the ingredients try another one. If you still can't, you

can always buy small amounts from your school, or maybe from various

chemical companies. When you do that, be sure to say as little as

possible, if during the school year, and they ask, say it's for a

experiment for school.
