There is no need for maximum density, as this is deathly dangerous. Just pack gently right before detonation. Detonate with flame for a confined charge. Use a slow fuse, because metal shrapnel is quite irritating to have embedded deep inside of your thigh.aperson444https://www.blogger.com/profile/07068169754170606562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145521224208766975.post-39583476851558289052008-01-20T22:31:00.000-08:002008-01-20T22:31:00.000-08:00Oh yes - one more little detail . . .I just notice...Oh yes - one more little detail . . .I just noticed you recommend packing the HMTD into a copper tube. Contact with copper or brass causes rapid oxidation and the crystals get super sensitive. My guess is that it will then explode in your hand, or the moment you try to compress the charge. Definite no no.Leigh Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14365755201428734968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145521224208766975.post-61485776567398587542008-01-20T22:05:00.000-08:002008-01-20T22:05:00.000-08:00These instructions leave out a lot of critical saf...These instructions leave out a lot of critical safety details. By the manner in which this procedure is presented, either you have never actually made acetone peroxide, you did and got very lucky, or you are trying to kill or maim someone!<BR/><BR/>I hope its not the latter of the three. :)<BR/><BR/>At a minumum you should at least describe the "compress with a loading press" instruction by including the necessary safety equipment, pressure, etc. Trying to compress Acetone Peroxide crystals with a loading press sounds like an extremely hazardous procedure.<BR/><BR/>Explosive formulas abound on the internet and 99% are just copies of others, and extremely dangerous. I have extensive experience with "field expedient munitions" and this sort of teenage prank carelessness will get you killed or burn your house/garage down.<BR/><BR/>I am enjoying your blog however.Leigh Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14365755201428734968noreply@blogger.com
