I encase the HMTD in plastic (Think grocery bag plastic.) and just use a casing with like 10 layers of treated paper. The end is sealed with only a
few layers of aluminum tape beforehand. This is to give it better contact with the secondary.
Honestly... I literally end up splitting the hardwood dowel and have not gotten it to det yet.
This is with 0.3-0.4g amounts.

secondary blasting caps. I've just made some necessary modifications. Rosco can't seem to stomach that he himself couldn't do it.

I think the correct word is irony, but yeah ……who am I to teach an impervious to accidents human being. It's good thing to shrink your ego a
little bit, because the bad things happen when you least expect them. The post from Aquaregia did save some fingers and eyes, just because he was
generous enough to share his accident. Look in your favorite YTube. Almost every genius out there melted or burned nitric esters to impress the
audience. Did you get the message?
If I remember correctly you asked something about “Nitromethane Sensitizers and Det Cord”……Yes, I do have some experience with PLX, but
now….. I’m feeling so stupid that I completely forgot the exact formulation….Stupid, stupid me……

I do hardly doubt anything was saved by anyone. Folks who cast ETN in an unsafe manner also work with primaries, which are far more treacherous and
are #1 cause of all accidents. In fact, acquaregia is the only person who managed to work up an ETN accident....and I've heard of a quite a few
accidents.
Don't try to be a wise guy, you have nothing to offer. I've tested various cords about 2 weeks ago and I don't care much for PLX as it's useless in
nylon tubing in small diameters. Fine ammonal powder has shown to be a more effective det-cord material.. I just don't care for its cost or time it
takes to make it.

@freedom
I am surprised HMTD can take that kind of abuse. I suppose if you eliminate friction and rough spots on the cap, it is plausible, though like you
said, expect it to go off. I'd still get nervous as hell, even if I was safe from injuries.

Jesus, Sherlock, you must really be thick are you? You are right, I did launched this thread wishing for people like you to get injured... I guess it
is quite clear to everybody here ;apart from you that is; that I did so in order to, maybe ,prevent someone, somewhere from GETTING INJURED. I should
think I did my bit (or tried to), so I'll leave now. And NO, I do not wish for you, or anybody to get injured, regardless of how cocky or pedantical
you can be. All I tried to say is that you have the proper "know it all" attitude for something to happen to you. Calling me a retard won't change
that. You think yourself smart, but reading your posts, all can see who the retard is here (I also think they tried to tell you but you won't listen).
So, be safe holmes.

This thread should have been locked 3-4 pages ago. The only thing that has come from it is the
1. acquaregia's renewed sense of righteousness for being a genius who roasted ETN in a glass tube
2. rosco's trolling via religious YouTube links
3. wizard posting pretty funny comic book excerpts along with Encyclopedia Britannica
4. jimbo jones' failed effort at slighting me with his perceived knowledge of PLX
5. my trolling as response to rosco's religious trolling
And all of this pales to utter insignificance in light of the fact that electric blasting caps that I use require no primary.

I can sympathize with aquaregia, this thread reminds me of when I was a kid and
got beat up in school by bully's, then after I would get beat up for it by my dad.
_ and on the religious theme, to all the Mary Poppins posters ( practically perfect
in every way ), " let he who is without sin cast the first stone ".

Perhaps instead of locking the thread; individuals should be a bit more introspective as to what they post.....? - Just a thought.
Perhaps that's not possible.

Here is the ultimate introspective philosophical and pragmatic question .....
When a human being recognizes that there is a god sized hole in their understanding and in their life, upon whom alone should they call to answer
that need, but the only one who can answer?

Rosco is onto something. Pay attention, my friend....is there anything we really own?
Intelligence can be lost with a knock to the head.
Physical prowess can be lost in a car accident, rendering one quadriplegic.
Wealth can be lost in a Madoff scam.
Friends/family can be lost by age or illness.
When you realise that everything you have can be lost, and indeed will be lost one day, you do realise that there is a gaping
God-sized hole in your existence.
If you can relinquish your worldly idols (image, money, power, etc.) and control your fears by realising you really have nothing to lose, you are
truly a free man.
In the end we own nothing except what God gives by grace to us. If you want to find God...find one who loves us enough to die for us. All other gods
are counterfeit and will turn you into a slave rather than a free man.

My philosophy dobe —
If you are going to play the game you have to know
three things.
2- What are the rules. Can't play if you don't know the rules.
3- What can you win? If the prize isn't big enough - why bother.
1- What can you loose?!
Ever try strangling the chicken - buttoning your shirt

I would without being ad hominem note that I find
the attitude toward safety by some here "juvenile" at best.

A pediatrician once told me children are incapable of thinking through the consequences of their actions. When exactly they starting putting
forethought into their actions varies from individual to individual....indeed it is possible to see adults who are incapable of assessing risk.

I think perhaps a better plan is for those who care about removal of off-topic replies
to set an example by their silence about all but the topic at hand.

holmes1880, no more posting in this thread. I count 5 off-topic messages from you on the last page alone. Also -- since it seems to have slipped in --
no more off-topic posting from anyone about religious beliefs, how bad this thread is, or anything really other than chemistry and safety.
A reminder for people who thought this thread needed intervention earlier: posting "this thread should be closed" in the thread does not actually
summon moderators. Sending a U2U message to a moderator does! Only one person bothered to send me a U2U about the state of this thread.

same sort of thing happened to me once i was barred out on xanax doing a high pressure rxn and boom! bleeding out like a stuck pig.
teach me to do high pressure reactions on xanax.
the emt's were asking all kinds of questions and i was giving evasive answers.
i did'nt get jammed up, came real close.
that notion of being clear minded is very important.
on a related note semtex is an intersting explosive.
the mosad used it against a member of hizbollah by placing a charge in his cellphone and detonating it as soon as he answered the phone.
the result?
his head was blown in half and his fingers wound up as shrapnel in the remander of his gourd.
astonishing what a petn plastic explosive can do in such small amounts.

Such a big deal is made in the American media about muslim terrorists, while the dirty tactics used by Israel go unmentioned. The Israeli
government routinely assassinates people in other middle eastern countries they do not like. 
But back to the topic, supposedly nitrate esters, such as ETN, become more sensitive over time (or in direct sunlight) as traces of nitrogen dioxide
develop, with the liquid developing a yellowish tinge. Another thing to consider is that if a plastic container containing ETN falls over, it is
likely to agitate the liquid enough to mix it with air and form microbubbles that can severely sensitize the compound.
I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people...I'm just saying lets remove all the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out.

this is what a gram can do inside a cellphone against a steel plate.
all i was illustrating is th clever assasination technique of swithching cellphones out loaded with petn/cemtex.
it litterally blows the fingers off and they logde as shrapnel in the skull, it's quite an impresive thing.
enjoy.
