Rocket candy and tatp mix?
I am aware of the sensitivity of tatp but I couldnt help myself from thinking:
1. Can rocket candy be detonated by a tatp charge
2. Can RC be enhanced by tatp(homogeneous mixture)
3. Does the KNO3 react with the peroxides
Love
Dalitas
Ps I will not try this because it sounds stupid trying to compact tatp
Edit:
Own thoughts
1. No
2.maybe
3. No

If you refer candy to the Sugar mix, then no. A daily fertilizer and a food you see in every meal can not be combined into an explosive that could be
detonated using TATP.
TATP will not enhance the performance of the propellants. Also your motor will probably explode.

It would be dangerous, and unpredictable. The mix would be hard to get even close to homogenous to be used as a propellent, and mixing the peroxide
with hot molten Rcandy is unthinkabke.
Potassium nitrate and sugar is not detonable. Ammonium nitrate and powdered sugar may detonate from a large TCAP charge, but that also would be stupid
and dangerous.
U.T.F.S.E. and learn the joys of autodidacticism!
Don't judge each day only by the harvest you reap, but also by the seeds you sow.
