Copied from the BB at modrs2, I'm the mod so no copyright issues.

Below are links that will help you get started in the business of explosives/pyrotechnics. Also listed are some suppliers for chemicals and pyrotechnic supplies. I've found these resources to be trustworthy, still I caution you. Anything you do with this information is done at your own risk. I will add to this later on. All information on these sites can be dangerous if not used correctly.

Add more guys, I don't have the old BB info thread sadly.

I'm sure someone has the old links thread. So they will probably just post it as a new thread whenever they realize we are all here...

Someone was looking for chlorate production earlier, this guy has perchlorate and chlorate production up, might be useful.

Some more links. I have MUCH more. We also need to determine how we are going to treat suppliers and sources for individual chems. There are a lot of not well known sources that many of us would like to keep on the D/L so that they are not abused and dry up... For instance where I got my sodium nitrite, and where i have been getting all my -325 mesh flake and spherical aluminum for about $5/lb and just a couple bucks shipping. I think that if its big suppliers like firefox and skylighter, just list it, but if its a really good small source you may want to hold on to it and only share it in the company of experienced pyros you know are not going to abuse the source. So like skype conference, IRC, email, aim/msn, in person, etc.

Great job guys! Let's get this sticked.

might help....

Rat_Bastard

Gah! I never knew that would ever be backed up after I removed it from the site. Although the point is clear, reading back I have found much of the language and wording cringe-inducing.

Oh what a pissed off little 16 year old I was back then at the end of 2001....

Ah, so you are alive!

Good to see you here, I grew up reading your posts in totse's BB forum.

Ok so anyone want to help update this bitch? 90% of the links don't work or the sites are down, I have been looking to get all the good ole sites which have the synthesis procedures for HEs but its been so long I have forgotten where the fuck to look or the ones I did know are no longer valid except for APC forum. It seems as though the online pyro forums have gone to horrible disaray compared to the good ole days when totse was full of geniuses and the spark was still alive online.

InspiredByMe

I'm up for it, I'll try to make a list to post sometime this week. Got to get searching I suppose.

Lol, welcome to the modern internet. Those days are long gone.

I will fucking rape you.

inb4lock

Seriously though, society and the internet have changed, and there's no going back.
