I am very much actively involved in the industry although I no longer actually make explosives.

May I ask... why did you join the forum?

Good point. I had rather misguidedly thought that I could offer advice which might influence those who do experiment to do things safely and legally. I am somewhat dismayed to have the totally reasonable standards which I was taught and apply being consider to be at the extreme end of the industry. It is a depressing reflection of the standards which BigG appears to espouse. This is definitely my last word on this thread.

I wouldn't say it is at the extreme end of the industry - just beyond the reasonable scope of amatuers. We expect our members to, if they wish to practice things discussed here, do so with the maximum possible standard of competence and safety.

There is no getting away from the 'instincts' that you inherit, but I urge once again that we insist that safety is No1 at all times.

When I buy my rotary testing apparatus I'm sure you can all have a go!
