Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Explosive Byproduct: what are the risks with muriatic acid?

2011-12-29 by Leon Heller

When I was about 12 I made some nitrogen tri-iodide, another very 
unstable and powerful explosive, and left it to dry on a piece of filter 
paper. The next morning my mother came into my room, complained about it 
being untidy, saw the filter paper with what she thought was some dirt 
on it, picked it up to illustrate the point she was making, and there 
was a very loud explosion!

I also made some in the chemistry lab at school and sprinkled it about 
the floor. Explosions resulted when the other kids stepped on it.
