Thermite II... or A better way to make Thermite        by Jolly Roger 

Thermite is nasty shit. Here is a good and easy way to make it.  
The first step is to get some iron-oxide (which is RUST!). Here is  
a good way to make large quantities in a short time: 

- Get a DC convertor like the one used on a train set. Cut the  
connector off, seperate the wires, and strip them both. 

- Now you need a jar of water with a tablespoon or so of sodium  
chloride (which is SALT!) added to it. This makes the water  
conductive. 

- Now insert both wires into the mixture (I am assuming you  
plugged the convertor in...) and let them sit for five minutes.  
One of them will start bubbling more than the other. This is the  
POSITIVE(+) wire. If you do not do this test right, the final  
product will be the opposite (chemically) of rust, which is RUST  
ACID. You have no use for this here (although it IS useful!). 

- Anyway, put the nail tied to the positive wire into the jar. Now  
put the negative wire in the other end. Now let it sit overnight  
and in the morning scrape the rust off of the nail & repeat until  
you got a bunch of rust on the bottom of the glass. Be generous  
with your rust collection. If you are going through the trouble of  
making thermite, you might as well make a lot, right? 

- Now remove the excess water and pour the crusty solution onto a  
cookie sheet. Dry it in the sun for a few hours, or inside  
overnight. It should be an orange-brown color (although I have  
seen it in many different colors! Sometimes the color gets fucked  
up, what can I say... but it is still iron oxide!) 

- Crush the rust into a fine powder and heat it in a cast-iron pot  
until it is red. Now mix the pure iron oxide with pure alluminum  
filinos which can be bought or filed down by hand from an aluminum  
tube or bar. The ratio or iron oxide to aluminum is 8 grams to 3  
grams. 

- Congrats! You have just made THERMITE! Now, to light it... 

- Thermite requires a LOT of heat (more than a blow torch!) to  
ignite. However, a magnesium ribbon (which is sorta hard to find..  
call around) will do the trick.  It takes the heat from the  
burning magnesium to light the thermite. 

- Now when you see your victim's car, pour a fifty-cent sized pile  
onto his hood, stick the ribbon in it, and light the ribbon with  
the blow torch. Now chuckle as you watch it burn through the hood,  
the block, the axle, and the pavement. BE CAREFUL! The ideal  
mixtures can vaporize CARBON STEEL! Another idea is to use  
thermite to get into pay phone cash boxes. HAVE FUN!! -Jolly Roger-
