+====================================+
WELL IT SEEMS THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN WAITING FOR PART 3 SO THAT THE
CAN BUILD BLASTING CAPS FOR THE FUN
SHIT IN PARTS 1 & 2. SO YOU CAN STOP
SENDING LETTER BOMBS TO ]<ING ]<ALADOR
BECAUSE HERE IT IS...
I. MERCURY FULMINATE
MATERIALS:
-NITRIC ACID (AVAILIBLE FROM
INDUSTRIAL METAL PROCESSORS)
-MERCURY (THERMOMETERS)
-ETHYL ALCOHOL
-PAPER TOWELS
1. MIX 5 TSPS OF NITRIC ACID WITH
2 1/2 TSPS OF WATER.
2. ADD 1/8 TSP MERCURY TO THE
NITRIC ACID/WATER SOLUTION.
THIS SHOULD PRODUCE DARK RED
FUMES.
3. HEAT 10 TSPS OF ETHYL ALCOHOL
UNTIL IT IS WARM.
4. POUR THE MERCURY/ACID INTO THE
ALCOHOL. WATCH THE WHITE FUMES
FOR 15 MINNUTES BEFORE GOING
TO STEP 5. (NOTE THAT THESE
FUMES ARE HIGHLT TOXIC)
5. TAPE THE PAPER TOWEL OVER A
GLASS CONTAINER. POUR THE
SOLUTION INTO THE CONTAINER.
6. WASH THE CRYSTALS THAT COLLECT
ON THE TOWEL WITH 6 TSPS OF
ETHYL ALCOHOL.
II. PICRIC ACID
MATERIALS:
-ASPRIN TABLETS
-95% PURE ALCOHOL
-SULFURIC ACID (FROM CAR BATTERY;
BOIL UNTIL WHITE FUMES APPEAR)
-POTASSIUM NITRATE (PART 1, III)
1. CRUCH 20 ASPRIN IN A GLASS
CONTAINER THEN ADD 1 TSP WATER
AND MIX IT INTO A PASTE.
2. ADD ABOUT 1/3 TO 1/2 CUP OF
ALCOHOL TO THE ASPRIN PASTE
WHILE STIRRING.
3. TAPE A PAPER TOWEL OVER A GLASS
CONTAINER AND POUR THE SOLUTION
OVER IT. PITCH THE RESIDUE
LEFT ON THE PAPER TOWEL.
4. POUR THE FILTERED SOLUTION
INTO A GLASS OR CERAMIC DISH.
5. HEAT A PAN OF WATER 160 - 180
DEGREES. PLACE THE DISH INTO
THE PAN AND WAIT UNTIL THE
ALCOHOL/WATER SOLUTION
EVAAPORATES LEAVING BEHIND A
WHITE POWDER.
6. POUR 1/3 CUP OF SULFURIC ACID
INTO A JAR THEN ADD THE WHITE
POWDER.
7. PLACE THE JAR INTO A PAN OF
SIMMERING WATER FOR ABOUT 15
MINUTES THEN REMOVE THE JAR
FROM THE PAN. THE SOLUTION
SHOULD TURN YELLOW-ORANGE IN
COLOR.
8. ADD 3 TSPS OF POTASSIUM NITRATE
TO SOLUTION WHILE STIRRING
VIGOROUSLY. THE SOLUTION WILL
TURN RED THEN BACK TO YELLOW-
ORANGE.
9. ALLOW THE SOLUTION TO COOL TO
ROOM TEMP WHILE STIRRING
OCCASIONALLY.
10. POUR THE SOLUTION GLASS
CONTAINING 1 1/4 CUP OF WATER
WHILE STIRRING VIGOROUSLY.
11. FILTER THE SOLUTION THROUGH
A PAPER TOWEL INTO A GLASS
CONTAINER.
12. WASH THE YELLOW PARTICLES THAT
COLLECT ON THE TOWEL WITH 2
TSPS OF WATER.
13. PLACE THE PARTICLES IN A GLASS
OR CERAMIC DISH AND SET IN
SIMMERING WATER FOR 2 HOURS.
III. FUSE BLASTING CAP
MATERIALS:
-.75 GRAMS OF MERCURY FULMINATE
-PICRIC ACID
-SPENT CASING OF AT LEAST .22
CALIBRE (.45, .50, .38, ETC.)
-12'' FUSE
1. REMOVE FIRED PRIMER FROM
CASING USING SHARP NAIL.
2. DRILL A HOLE IN THE END WIDE
ENOUGH FOR THE FUSE TO FIT IN.
3. THREAD IN THE FUSE THROUGH THE
HOLE. TIE A KNOT IN ONE END
OF THE FUSE SO THAT IT WON'T
FALL OUT.
4. FILL THE CASING WITH THE
MERCURY FULMINATE.
5. PACK THE MERCURY FULMINATE
SNUGGLY USING A WOODEN STICK.
BE GENTLE BECAUSE THE FULMINATE
IS SHOCK SENSITIVE.
6. ADD ONE GRAM OF PICRIC ACID.
7. PACK THIS IN SNUGGLY, BUT
GENTLY WITH THE WOODEN STICK.
8. IF THERE IS ANY EXTRA SPACE,
FILL IT AND PACK THE EXTRA WITH
MERCURY FULMINATE.
IV. ELECTRICAL BLASTING CAP
MATERIALS:
SAME AS ABOVE, EXCEPT REPLACE
FUSE WITH THIN, INSULATED WIRE.
1. STRIP ABOUT 1/4'' OF THE
INSULATION FROM THE CENTER OF
THE WIRE.
2. DRILL 2 HOLES IN THE CASING.
3. THREAD THE WIRE SO THAT THE
NON-INSULATED AREA IS INSIDE
THE CASING.
4. GO TO STEP 4 OF THE FUSE
BLASTING CAP.
5. WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH STEP 8
ABOVE, CONNECT ONE END OF
THE WIRE TO THE POSITIVE LEAD
OF A BATTERY (THE HIGHER THE
VOLTAGE, THE BETTER).
6. CONNECT ONE END OF A SECOND
WIRE TO THE NEGATIVE LEAD AND
OTHER END OF THE SECOND WIRE
TO A SPST OR DPST OR OTHER
2-WAY SWITH. (MAKE SURE THE
SWITCH IS IN AN OFF POSI?YJ
7. CONNECT THE OTHER END OF THE
FIRST WIRE TO THE OTHER END
OF THE SWITCH.
8. THROUGH SWNITCH WHENEVER YOU'RE
READY TO IGNITE THE BLASTING
CAP.
NOTE: THESE BLASTING CAPS ARE MORE
POWERFUL THAN THEIR STANDARD
MILITARY COUSINS, AND SHOULD BE
TREATED WITH CARE.
