6. 7. 8. Allow the material to air dry, preferably in the sun. As it dries, rescore it occasionally (about every 20 minutes) to aid drying. When the material has dried to a point where it is moist and soft but not sticky to the touch, place a small spoonful on the screen. Rub the material back and forth against the screen mesh with spoon or other flat object until the material is granulated into small worm-like particles. After granulation, return the material to the sun to dry completely. 1.10 Nitric Acid/Nitrobenzene (“Hellhoffite”) Explosive An explosive munition can be made from mononitrobenzene and nitric acid. It is a simple explosive to prepare. Just pour the mononitrobenzene into the acid and stir.
Materials Required Source Field grade or 90% concentrated (specific gravity of Nitric acid 1.48) Drug store (oil of mirbane) Mononitrobenzene (also known as nitrobenzene) Chemical supply house Industries (used as solvent) Acid resistant measuring containers Glass, clay, etc. Acid resistant mixing rod Blasting cap Wax Steel pipe, end cap and tape Bottle or jar Note: Prepare mixture just before use. Procedure 1. 2. Add 1 volume (cup, quart, etc.) mononitrobenzene to 2 volumes nitric acid in bottle or jar. Mix ingredients well by stirring with acid resistant rod. Caution: Nitric acid will burn skin and destroy clothing. If any is spilled, wash off immediately with large amount of water. Nitrobenzene is toxic; do not inhale fumes. How to Use
