Acetone Peroxides Stability
« on: March 10, 2009, 06:35:59 PM »
Right       :D

Basically, there's this abandoned limestone quarry near my house and it seems a shame to let it go to waste, and me and my friends have made some thermite there before but I want to start making things go bang. Nice bangs, so I'm thinking of making some AP. I understand the dangers but I'm not quite how unstable it is. I've heard it's fairly unstable but that doesn't really give me an indication cos it's more based on opinion.

I'd appreciate it if you could give me a vague measurement, from like... how high it would need to be dropped from to explode, and from when it becomes most unstable in the making, cos - like most people - I'd like to keep all my limbs :D

We don't give explosives information on this board as a matter of policy.  A quick look at the relavant wikipedia article will tell you -- even the terrorists who make it -- hate it -- it is too unstable, even in the lab.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
