True. I used to regularly go the the chemists when I was a lad and buy several pounds of saltpeter (Potasium Nitrate). The old boy behind the counter used to give me odds and sods like test tubes and conical flasks to encourage me in my boyish enthusiasm for mayhem and destruction!Originally posted by Paddy
P.s. this was all started by borrowing a library book ('for boys') that explained how to make explosive fuses (soak window sash cord in super-saturated Potasium Nitrate solution) amongst other things! Can you imagine that now?Last edited by bogeyman; 26 September 2006, 17:05.
