1. 2. Place 1-1/2 teaspoons (15 grams) of C4 explosive in one of the pint jars. Add 1 cup (240 milliliters) of gasoline. Note: These quantities can be in creased to obtain more RDX. For example, use 2 gallons of gasoline per 1 cup of C4. Knead and stir the C4 with the rod until the C4 has broken down into small particles. Allow mixture to stand for 1/2 hour. 3. Stir the mixture again until a fine white powder remains on the bottom of the jar.
4. 5. Filter the mixture through a paper towel into the other glass jar. Wash the particles collected on the paper towel with 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) of gasoline. Discard the waste liquid. Place the RDX particles in a glass or ceramic dish. Set the dish in a pan of hot water, not boiling, and dry for a period of 1 hour. Note: The RDX particles may be air dried for a period of 2 to 3 hours. 1.16 TACC (Tetramminecopper (II) Chlorate) Tetramminecopper (II) chlorate is a primary explosive that can be made from sodium chlorate, copper sulfate and ammonia. This explosive is to be used with a booster explosive such as picric acid (section 1.21) or RDX (section 1.15) in the fabrication of detonators (section 6.13).
