Mario1 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Ok so I just bought some 1lb of Potassium Nitrate. It said it was +99% in powder forum. Is that good? Another question- How many grams are in a pound? Thanks! p.s. I bought this from ebay. Actually I got it for free for using prize rebel but I wont advertise...

Bananaphone69 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Prize rebel? Anyway, over 99% is plenty pure, and 454g to a pound, you really should have just googled that... It has an auto response... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario1 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Thanks! And Prize rebel is a site where you complete offers and get points. Then you can get stuff for free with the correct amount of points. In my case I got 1lb of KNO3 for 8.99 points. A days work and free chemicals. If you want to try heres the link- http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=338686 Anyway now i just need sulfur and I can make black powder. Yea!

For sulfur you can just go to your local Home depot, or Lowes and get some garden sulfur it's usually within the 90% percent purity range the other 10% is just clay. It will work fine for blackpowder, when I was starting out thats what I used I got a 2 pound bag for 5$. Please Be Safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes hobby shops, or arts and crafts stores will have paper tubes, or you could just buy them online at cannonfuse.com, or pyrodirect.

RUUUUUN Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 If you don't want to buy them look in the tutorials section, there are some excellent tutorials on rolling tubes in there..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 If you're going to restrict your sources so narrowly, there is really very little we can do to help. Many reputable suppliers don't deal on amazon or ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananaphone69 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hate to be the bringer of bad news, but this stuff ain't cheap... Most orders excess $100 and even the smallest often hit $50... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventsi Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Since this is the Various Q's thread I thought I'd ask. Whats a good SrCO3/Chlorate red? I'm thinking of ordering some Red Gum as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
