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.
