As for mixing sulfur and potassium chlorate, you shouldnt because the only uses this has is for some kind of impact ignitor(very dangerous). I believe you were referring to sugar and potassium chlorate. Please verify your information before handing out potentially dangerous information. If you add some sugar to the kmno4 it will increase its performance.
