Hi guys,
Just thought I'd let you know that I have a few items I need to get rid of as I'm quitting the hobby (i know, i know). I've got about 3kg of Potassium Perchlorate, 1kg Sodium Benzoate, 1kg Red Iron Oxide and about 30kg Kno3 (that would have to be collected, it's in a big drum in my back yard).
I'll accept £10 per kg for perc, 1kg benzoate the same, iron oxide 6 quid and someone can take the kno3 for 15 quid (it comes in a heavy duty drum, no messing about, it even has handles!).
You'll have to make it to my place (ROCHDALE) so email me at drew @t drews-world.co.uk (replace the ' @t ' with an '@') if you would like anything, this email will get me where ever I am.
Regards,
Drew

In Topic: Ball Mill For Sale!
08 May 2007 - 12:38 PM
I sold the ball mill for £82 btw, pretty gutted as I bought it for £200 a few months back and I havn't used it but at least someone got a good deal out of it. 
I don't think there's a farm for a good few miles around here! When I get my own car though I'll drive up to my aunts a few miles up the road, she lives in the middle of nowhere and has acres of land + sheds + garages the lot. Would be good for it up there.
I'm still going to be on the forums!

In Topic: suitable solvent for whistle rocket fuel
02 May 2007 - 09:50 AM
I can't believe noone has suggested colemans and mineral oil (unperfumed baby oil in the uk (check ingredients)). If it's perfumed then your rockets will zoom into the sky with baby-butt freshness.
All you do is mill your ingredients up very very well, add the iron oxide to the fuel and mill that up for a bit. Then put the mixture in a big glass bowl and add your mineral oil and colemans fuel. Once you've mixed this all up, carefully and I mean carefully add the oxidizer and kneed and squeeze until it's mixed completely (wear LATEX gloves, no rubber, it disolves). You'll get very dizzy if you don't wear the correct resperator. The mixture will eventually thicken as the solvent is disolving and finally you'll be left with a flakey red-pink plasticy substance which is your whistle mix. Store this is a paper tube of some sorts (gravy granuals tube for example).
Do not take this procedure lightly, don't think that it's acceptable to make this on your bedroom windowcill or similar. Make it away from your house with nobody smoking and NOBODY apart from you working with the stuff.
If you need to store the stuff, make sure you store it in a suitable place, somewhere away from humans and static. I couldn't even imaging what would happen if a 500g tube of whistle went off in some kids cuboard.
Take Care,
Drew
