Legendary Smokebomb v1.5

By Mastermind

This smokebomb is my original design. After scouring the internet I found out these have never been posted ANYWHERE. I built one of these as a passing idea......... It. Worked. Well.

If made correctly it will produce little to no flame and TONS of smoke. My comparison of it would be to a 5 pound candied smokebomb I saw online but, as I said, with almost no flame.

It takes little safety precautions to make and can be made with the same ingredients as any other common smokebomb.

Now here's how........

Directions

Needed:

• Potassium Nitrate (Saltpeter)
• Sugar
• Paraffin
• Fuse
• Scale
• Pan
• Bowl
• Stove
• Spoon
• Foil
• Tape (Electric works well)

Step 1.
Measure 60g Potassium Nitrate and 40g Sugar. Mix together and set aside.

Step 2.
Place pan on stove at HIGH heat. Place 40g wax into pan.
It will melt quickly so remove from heat when wax has clarified.

 

Step 3.
Away from heat SLOWLY add powdered mixture to wax. Mix well making sure the different chemicals are evenly distributed.

Step 4.
With foil make a small bowl. Drain excess wax off of mix into the original bowl. Repeat until mixture is a loose slurry. Put slurry into the foil bowl before hardning takes place.

Step 5.
As wax cools it will still be fairly malliable. When mostly hardened wrap in layer of foil and mold into a ball. Insert length of fuse (make sure fuse crosses the entire circumfrence of the ball).

Step 6.
Wrap in 8 - 10 more layers of foil keeping fuse accessible. Compact tighly.

Step 7.
Wrap entire ball in electric tape to hold foil in place.

Step 8.
Place smokebomb in fridge or freezer for 10-20 minutes to ensure hardend state.

Step 9.
Enjoy.

(If incorrectly made it runs the risk of superheating the wax. Always place away from flammable objects.)
