    Honestly if you want to get access to dangerous shit, you needn’t go farther than gasoline. Dissolve syrofoam until saturation to make napalm, or combine with ammonium nitrate, and insert a blank to make an ANFO bomb.

      Gasoline and Styrofoam doesn’t create the substance Napalm, as the chemical combination lacks naphthene or palmitate. Napalm is just the broader term that the US Army applies to Weaponized Jellied Gasoline, which was petrol + benzene (already in gasoline) + polystyrene.

      To make true original napalm (which was used up until Vietnam) you would need aluminum soap powder of napthenic and palmitic acids, hence (NA-PALM), that is the stuff that was originally in flamethrowers and incendiary bombs.

        Thanks ComradeSalad for letting us know the ingredients to napalm so we can watch out for accidental mixtures 🤗
