Today two packages turned up, one containing the iron oxide and one with the aluminium powder. As I opened them LMF (who is 14) said to me "Chemicals? Are you making thermite or something?" When I replied to the affirmative she called me an idiot. I asked why and she said "because it's dangerous, stupid". Then a few minutes later she called me an arse.

So nice to see I have the family vote!

She was spot on the money with the assemblage of materials though.

Maybe she's already done it...

...also five fully functional senses unlike people who get Thermite wrong I would imagine



Still sounds like fun though!

You know, I have some large metallic items I need gotten rid of. I wonder if my vid cam would handle the bright exposure of a thermite reaction...

Looks like I've got everything I need for the reaction itself, it's just sorting out where, when and with what. I've got to dig out my video camera as well
