  1. How to Make Dynamite                            by The Jolly Roger
  2.  
  3. Dynamite is nothing more than just nitroglycerin and a stablizing
  4. agent to make it much safer to use.  For the sake of saving time, I
  5. will abbreviate nitroglycerin with a plain NG.  The numbers
  6. are percentages, be sure to mix these carefully and be sure to use the
  7. exact amounts.  These percentages are in weight ratio, not volume.

  95. Household equivalants for chemicles
  96.  
  97. It has come to my attention that many of these chemicles are
  98. sold under brand names, or have household equivalants.  here is a list
  99. that might help you out. Also, see elsewhere in this Cookbook for 
  100. a more complete listing............

  139. zinc chloride              tinner's fluid
  140.  
  141. Keep this list handy at all times. If you can't seem to get one
  142. or more of the ingredients try another one.  If you still can't, you
  143. can always buy small amounts from your school, or maybe from various
  144. chemical companies.  When you do that, be sure to say as little as
  145. possible, if during the school year, and they ask, say it's for a
  146. experiment for school.
