15. That's right...if you want napalm, go to 7-11...
The hardware store is for the suitcase nukes.

NOTE TO FRIENDLY HOMELAND SECURITY EMPLOYEE: The above is intended as humor.

5. All you need is to make something sticky and flammable, there are plenty of combinations to do that.
They mention one in the movie Fight Club, I think it was orange juice concentrate and gasoline in that one. But yeah, styrofoam will disolve in gasoline and make it sticky too.

Not that I've ever tried of course, so I don't know the proportions... O8)

6. Until the gasoline is saturated
and no more styrofoam will disolve.

7. Yep.
Edited on Sat Oct-06-07 11:48 PM by dropkickpa
We learned how to make it when we were kids, without the benefit of the internets or other such things. My oldest brother tried using a styrofoam cup to transfer gasoline into the lawnmower, much hilarity and destruction of toys in empty scrub land ensued in the following weeks. Shortly after that my parents decided to go with electric mowers. No idea why.

It's a wonder any of us survived to adulthood given our serious lack of self preservation as children.

8. It's naptha and palmitic acid
In other words, lighter fluid and palm oil derivative.
The chemistry is very simple.

11. Xeriscape
Environmentally conscious women like it AND you don't have to mow.
