  I have decided to skip the article on mercury fluminate for a while and get
right into the dynamite article.
 
  Dynamite is nothing more than just nitroglycerin and a stablizing agent to
make it much safer to use.  For the sake of saving time, I will abbreviate
nitroglycerin with a plain NG.  The numbers are percentages, be sure to mix
these carefully and be sure to use the exact amounts.  These percentages are in
weight ratio, not volume.

                     Household equivalants for chemicles
 
  It has come to my attention that m any of these chemicles are sold under
brand names, or have household equivalants.  here is a list that might help you
out.

zinc chloride           tinner's fluid -
 
  Keep this list handy at all times.  If you can't seem to get one or more of
the ingredients try another one.  If you still can't, you can always buy sm all
amounts from your school, or maybe from various chemical companies.  When you
do that, be sure to say as little as possible, if during the school year, and
they ask, say it's for a experiment for school.
