* This explosive is VERY VERY VERY shock, friction and heat sensitive* in other terms if you hit it, jump on it, grind or ignite it, it will explode

Ingreadents:
6% Hydrogen Proxide (i acually use 3% proxide> because no one sells the 6%,
all you have to do it double the amount whan using 3%)

Hexamine tablets or hexie tabs- you can find these at camping or disposial stores, they come in a little box and smell like fish.

30% Hydrochloric acid- you can get this stuff from hardware stores, just ask
at the help desk (it will be somewhere near the brick stuff)

All you do is disolve one part, by volume, of hexamine in two parts of hydrogen proxide. Mix this well until no hexamine is undisloved. If you are mixing large amounts i recomend that you place this> in the fridge for about 15 mins or so just to let it all cool down before adding the acid. If you are using small amounts (tablespoons) i wouldn't worry about cooling it down. Next mix in one part hydrochloric acid and place into the fridge for 30 mins. Take out of the fridge and you should see little white crystals in the liquid. Filter these crystals out and WASH THOROUGHLY. FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION.

HMTD, use one of the processes below.

Process #1

Obtain 6% hair bleaching peroxide which is available from any
beauty salon or beauty supply store. This is a 20 volume hydrogen peroxide.
Place 9 teaspoons of this. 6% peroxide in a one pint canning jar or 500 ml
beaker. In three portions dissolve by stirring 2-1/2 teaspoons of powdered
hexamine (Crushed U.S. Army ration heating tablets, See "Kitchen Improvised
Plastic Explosives" chapter 2, "Urintropine" etc.). This is stirred until
all the hexamine dissolves. The solution should then be chilled in a ice
water bath for 1/2 hour. To this chilled solution add, in four portions,
4-1/2 teaspoons of powdered citric acid. Citric acid is readily available
and should be found with canning supplies or in a pharmacy. With each
addition the solution should be stirred until the citric acid dissolves in
the liquid before another addition is made. When all the additions have
been made continue stirring the liquid. The beaker or jar containing the
solution should remain in the ice bath. The solution will become cloudy.
With the completiorì of the 1/2 hour stirring the liquid is placed in a
refrigerator. This will speed the process. If a refrigerator is not
available let the solution stand for 24 hours. Filter the solution through
a paper towel or coffee filter. The white substance is the explosive.

CAUTION: HMTD is sensitive to shock, impact, friction, heat and open flame.
Extreme care should be exercised. HMTD will detonate from any of these
stimuli even when soaked with water.

These white crystals are washed with 45 ml of distilled water. Tap
water can be used if necessary, but will yield a compound of lesser purity.
They are then washed with 75 ml methanol alcohol. These crystals are
allowed to dry in a cool dry place. If a 30% technical grade ("Superoxol")
of hydrogen peroxide is available it should be used instead of the 6%. If
30% is used the proportions are as follows to use in the same process as
above are:

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. "Superoxol" (30% d. 1.11 G/cc)- 185 G
HEXAMINE (Crushed ration heating tablets) 56 G
CITRIC ACID (tech. grade or food grade) 84 G

These are used in the procedure given above. Simply "plug in" the amount
immediately above for the spoon wise proportions given in the 6% hydrogen
peroxide process and the washing would be done with 150 ml cold water. Of
course in the procedure if 35% or 40% is the only type hydrogen peroxide
available, then simply calculate the actual weight of hydrogen peroxide. We
know that 185 G. of peroxide are used above. This is 30% hydrogen
peroxide.185 G. X.30=55.5 G.. We know that we need 55.5 G. hydrogen
peroxide. Suppose we have some 40% peroxide. We take our 55.5 and divide
by.40 thus 55.5 / 0.40=138.75. Simply use 139.0 G. of this 40% hydrogen
peroxide in the procedure above. The yield of this process with 30%
hydrogen peroxide is much greater that is the use of 6% hydrogen peroxide.
But with the 6% being the easier of the two to obtain it still would hold
possibilities

PROCESS #2

This second process is one of very easy acquisition of the main
ingredients. Yield is not as high as the procedure above with either
strength peroxide. This process makes use of the easy formation of hexamine
and the parallel formation of a slightly acid solution. This acid is
liberated from the ammonium sulfate salt. It is, of course, sulfuric acid.
This acid performs the function of the citric acid in the procedure above.
This is after the free ammonia and the formaldehyde form hexamine. Yield
will be relatively low with this procedure but the materials are readily
available and cheap. Since this procedure takes place at a elevated
temperature there will be some lost of product to this subsequent heat and
the decomposition that will accompany it. This process will work and could
be used if necessary.

Five hundred grams of 3% hydrogen peroxide are placed in a quart jar
or 1000 ml beaker. Three percent hydrogen peroxide is available as an
antiseptic solution in grocery stores, etc... To this is added fifty grams
ammonium sulfate. Ammonium sulfate is available as common fertilizer. This
is stirred until dissolved. This liquid should be heated in a water bath to
55 degrees C. (131 degrees F.). Immediately when the temperature reaches
this temperature add 5.3 grams of 37% formaldehyde solution. Stir this
solution well and take off water bath. Let this liquid cool to room
temperature and set for 24 hours. A white product will be seen in the
liquid at this time.

CAUTION: This white product is dangerous and sensitive to FRICTION, SHOCK,
HEAT OR FLAME. Handle with great care !! Even wet H.M.T.D. is dangerous
and will detonate with ease.

This is filtered out and washed with one washing of 50 ml distilled
water and then with 75 ml of 100% methanol. The methanol will speed the
drying process. This white fluffy powder will be H.M.T.D. This powder will
be sensitive to friction and small quantities should be handled.
