HMTD

materials

a few glass jars

stirring rods

filter paper

funnel

I used esbit hexamine fuel tabs which are over 50% wax.
I mixed 3 ounces of 12% clairoxide (by clairol)peroxide(it cannot contain
phosphouric acid(SP?) or it wont work. you can buy this stuff at sally's beauty supply, it is
about $4 a pint.)

like I said I mixed 3 ounces of peroxide with 2 1/2 teaspoons of esbit hexamine,
this comes out to about 1 teaspoon of pure hexamine, you mix this well.
it need not be in an icebath. mix it untill nothing else dissolves then filter it through
a paper towel you should end up with a liquid that looks like plain peroxide.

now add 2 packs of lemonade koolaid***. these packs have to be unsweetened
and be between 6.2 and 6.9 grams I cant remember at the moment. mix and
swirl this around for about 1 minute or 2. if you cant get it all to dissolve then add more
peroxide. for me it is hard to dissolve the lemonade in the peroxide with the
hexamine already dissolved. after this is well mixed put it in the fridge.

if it starts to heat up(it shouldnt) then put in a running stream of cold water.

***you really must be thinking damnit koolaid that wont work, it will, this is the most powerful
explosive you can make with such common ingredients.

this doesnt always work. most of the time it does. and when you filter it dry the hmtd you got
from the filter by leaving it on the filter. when it dries pour(yes pour when this dries
it doesnt stay clumped into cakes its like when powdered sugar sticks together) it into
a film canister. now take the filter and carefully rub it against itself as you were going
to get a rag nice and soapy. this will get the dried particles off that stuck to the filter
paper.

when this is wet and you light it, it burns fast and crackles.


when it is dry and you light some it produces a fair sized fireball.
if you light more than 2 grams it will detonate, even when unconfined.
if you use a cigarette lighter and light more than 2 grams be prepared to loose
at least a few fingers(if you are lucky). the hmtd will detonate, and might bring the lighter
with it.
so be care full.

if you are using pure hexamine you need only 1 teaspoon.
and if you havent figured it out the lemonade replaces the citric acid.

you can scale this up if you need but you should use an icebath.
