i would also like to say it has scorched the floor i put it on so i am going to have a hard time explaining that to my parents when they get back of holiday

did you melt the potassium nitrate/sugar mix because it works better when its melted, also use icing sugar that seems to work very well

god damit, sorry im a little tired today and many things are going wrong Edit: sorry does anybody know the atomic weight of iodine Edit 2: its ok i have found it its 127

how long will this mixture keep, because i could just put it away and if i ever wanted it its there, but what i dont want it to do is go off in my house then i would be pis**d Edit: so would my parent's but they only have about 6 months left of me maybe a bit more

i was referring to making chlorates there is the method of getting them from bleech and you said it works but then you said you have found an easier way i was asking what is the easier way for making chlorates, i was a bit lost when you mentiond the other things

oh right thank you

LOL, I dont know which is worse the humiliation or the suspicion

oh yes that has just reminded my dont buy potassium nitrate from http://www.gardenchemicals.co.uk i payed £9.50 for 500g plus postage so about £12 for 500g of potassium nitrate instead get it of http://www.labpakchemicals.co.uk for about £3 for 500g that way you can get 3 times as much you have to include postage thats why it's not four times as much, Anyway YT how well does the bleach method work IE how much crystals will you get and how easy is the NaNO3 and KCL method i am guessing you get a bit more then the amount of NaNO3 you use

LOL, i would'nt want to i am still trying to figure out where i can set of the rest with out causing suspicion

what is your easier method then YT because i would like to make some for the experience

ah yes that would help sorry 100g of iodine, and dont worry i am not going to make a huge batch like that is just that i am thinking of buying some iodine 100g for £5.90

if anybody has ever thought about making smoke bombs i advise you not too unless you live in a big open area, i have just made a smoke bomb today infact 10 minutes ago, i got the recipe from unitednuclear i thought this might be a bit of fun to do, so i got out the icing sugar potassium nitrate heated it ect, and i poured it in to a cardboard tube i filled it to the top, but there was some left over about 5g worth which dried quickly so i decide to light to see what it looks like and while i am doing that the other one can dry firstly small amounts of smoke are given off then alot and i mean alot, thick dense smoke, which blew back into my house( the back door was open bad mistake) setting the fire alarms of in my kitchen, the smoke travelled all the way through my dining room into the living room luckly by the time it got to my living room the smoke was about as thick as when you burn toast now then this is where my problem comes in i have about 45g of this stuff in a cardboard tube and if the 5g is anything to go by i am going to have a major problem when i light the big one, so i advise people not to make it. it would be good on halloween or paintballing ect but not for any day in the week because it will cause huge suspicion

how much Ammonium Tri Iodide would you get from 100g would it still be 100g

does anybody know the weight of iodine per gram

yes i do enjoy making my own chemicals but when the cost making it out weigh the costs buying it ill just buy it

there is an easier method buy it 500g for £7.00 Edit: £5.90 from http://www.labpakchemicals.co.uk

Thank you for that very nice remark Edit: i suppose i should be very cautious of anybody with a gun Edit 2: i should be cautious of anybody with a gun in the first place in england, because nobody should own a gun except for a shotgun

heres a link to prove its a myth and it does'nt matter where you live the water can flow clockwise or anti-clockwise http://www.snopes.com/science/coriolis.htm

you should not add sulphur to any chlorates it makes the mixture unstable

or sometimes if you are lucky snow, but i dont think it will be that lucky for you

Rain

some parts i disagree, if it becomes icy then salters will come and salt the road to prevent it being icy, and they have containers where people can put salt down if they feel it is dangerously slipery but yes in some case's we are unprepared for bad wether conditions that may be because we dont have that many
