Twotails Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) So, What have you got stashed away? Kinda like a chemical invitory list, Not to show off, But to see how far the kleptic chemical collecters syndrome goes.I guess i'll go first. Ammonium perchlorate-5lbsPotassium Nitrate-11lbsStrontium Nitrate-1lbSodium Nitrate-1lbAmmonium Nitrate-1lbPotassium Perchlorate-5lbPotassium Chlorate-3lbAntimony Trisulfide, 8oz chinese Needle, 8oz Dark pyro grade.Barium Carbonate-2lbsBoric Acid-1lbCopper(II) Oxide-2lbsHexamine-2lbsIron oxide, Black-1lbIron oxide, Red-1lbLead Tetraoxide-8ozMagnesium-Aluminum-1lbSaran Resin-1lbCharcoal Airfloat-2lbsSulfur-5lbsPolyvinyl Chloride-1lbDextrin-1lbFerroTitanium-1lbMagnisium 400 mesh + turnings- 1lbSparkler grade steel powder(Wax coated)-1lbAmmonium chloride-1lblampblack-1lbBamboo charcoal-1lbHemp charcoal-1lbHardwood charcoal-2lbPine charcoal-1lbPine Resin-1qt3 micron Aluminum-2lb-325 mesh sperical atomized Aluminum-5lbsRed Gum-2lbsNaphthalene-3lbsVermiculite - 2ozWoodmeal-2lbsNC-1qtAcetone-1galDMSO-1/2qtCremora-1lbGround glass-2lbclay-15lb Probably some chemicals I forgot to list, but that makes up the most of it.So, What have you collected?

Updup Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Been working with the basics, as you'll see from my list. Potassium Nitrate-6lbs.Sulfur-6lbsCharcoal-~100gDextrin-1lbSuger-3lbs Comming soon: 325mesh sphe. Al.- 1lb

Gunzway Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Doesn't anyone buy big? I'm surprised to just see people with roughly 5lbs of KNO3 and a max of 11lbs. I've roughly got at LEAST 40lbs left of KNO3.
Twotails Posted December 13, 2009 Author Posted December 13, 2009 With me its a storage issue, Once i get a larger storage area, I will buy more in bulk.
firetech Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 I make really small stuff. So I don't need a lot.
scarbelly Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) From off the top of my head: 25 lbs Potassium Nitrate5 lbs Potassium Perchlorate 2 lbs 325 mesh bright flake Al3-4 lbs 325 mesh spherical Al~1 lb various mesh Fe powder/filings1-2 lbs Boric Acid 20 lbs Alder charcoal5 lbs various hardwood charcoals 1 lb Strontium Carbonate 1 lb Red Gum~2 lbs Dextrin My ratios of chemicals are a little bit random and confused, I know. There is no reason I need 20 lbs of Alder charcoal for example, but hey: can't change what's there. This list is also not all inclusive; I excluded things like acetone that I didn't really think were relevant as I don't use them. Edited December 13, 2009 by scarbelly

I've roughly got at LEAST 40lbs left of KNO3. I'll hit the major things in bulk. KClO4 - ~100lbsKNO3 - ~150lbsCharcoal - ~20lbsRandom Al's - 10-20lbs

Ericz Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 lol >>>Doesn't anyone buy big? I'm surprised to just see people with roughly 5lbs of KNO3 and a max of 11lbs. I've roughly got at LEAST 40lbs left of KNO3. Not evryone can store it , i have 250 grams of kno3. All i got left and need i dont make so much , it wil depence on your home situation ?grtz

All i got left and need i dont make so much , it wil depence on your home situation ?grtz I don't see what's 'lol' about my comment. Save me your platitudes. Blatantly unless you're living in a hut with twenty other people you can store a 55lb bag of KNO3. If you're worried about being caught with a large bag of fertilizer and prefer to only store a minimal amount, well; I don't think you should be in this hobby. You would have broke the exact same amount of laws and you'll receive the exact same consequences technically regardless if you have five hundred grams or fifty-five pounds. KNO3 is basically the foundation chemical for this hobby, you're always going to need it. Why bother paying for smaller quantities that inevitably will cost you more long term when you can just buy a large quantity of it for cheaper and save yourself the trouble of running out unexpectedly. Some pyrotechnic material suppliers sell it fairly cheap, but shipping adds onto it rapidly. I'm not telling everyone to run out and buy bulk KNO3, it's your choice. But according to the tripartite analysis of propositional knowledge, I think it's knowledge buying bulk is better in this case.

And you also need alot of KClO4, charcoal, and sulfur.

Mumbles Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 This thread got me thinking. I think it'd be faster for me to post what I DON'T have.
dagabu Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 This thread got me thinking. I think it'd be faster for me to post what I DON'T have. Sorry, not going to post what I have, no po-po showing up after reading this thread! D
AdmiralDonSnider Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 This thread got me thinking. I think it'd be faster for me to post what I DON'T have. Now if I view your signature, I can´t help thinking you are usually supplied per ship
firetech Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Dagabu, that post might give adequate reason for investigation
dagabu Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Dagabu, that post might give adequate reason for investigation I resemble that accusation!
Rogue Chemist Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) I use an aldrich catalog and check off what I do not have Well not really. But back when I still did home chemistry and pyrotechnics I had >450 unique chemicals. I actually did inventory as I was getting rid(giving away, selling, sending for disposal) of things Currently I think I have a 100g bottle of boric acid, and some bismuth metal, and that is about it Edited December 14, 2009 by Rogue Chemist
Swede Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Let's see... I've got Salt - NaClSodium Bicarbonate - NaHCO3Water - H20Ethanol - Rum, Beer, WhiskeyCotton ballsSugarPVC cement Those pop to the top of my head. Anything else I can neither confirm nor deny...

Now that is what I was trying to think of, something witty and smart. Guess I will just ingest some Dihydrous Monoxide... sigh. D
psyco_1322 Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Is that anything like that killer Dihydrogen Monoxide stuff? Its really dangerous stuff, be careful! It actually costs me more to completely fill my trucks gas tank than to buy a 50lb bag of KNO3.
