Should be easy enough then, isopropyl alcohol can be used to make Sarin
(the nerve gas), but the worst you can make with nitric acid is
nitroglycerine.

Of course a "Chemist" may not know that ...


If you are anywhere near Trowbridge Wilts I can let you have some nitric
acid .. but I can't post it.

The yanks reckon that a solution of alum is the dog's danglies for
dissolving steel out of aluminium. Quite what alum is or where you'd get it
from I have no idea.

I never though of that. It's got to be better than soaking in brine. Any good
recipes/mixtures?

Home grown onions pickled with home grown chilies make for a happy Christmas!!
