If you can come up with potassium chlorate you can make some pretty
nasty stuff just using 40% sugar and a dash of potassium chromate.
It is probably hard to buy these days without getting a call from ATF
but it used to be available at Fischer Scientific if you could come up
with a plausible story.

That's what's nice about living in the country and knowing a lot of
farmers.


Yep, when I lived in western NY, we had all sorts of homemade fun!
