!!!!!!!! W A R N I N G !!!!!!!! 1st. It is a FELONY to manufacture explosives ! 2nd. This procedure is simple but DANGEROUS ! 3rd. If you make it, USE IT ! Do not store this material. Keep this hardcopy in your SAFE hiding spot with your SMG you will need it when the "Red Dawn" comes ! "The Survivor" 5/1/86 PLASTIQUE FRl (for bath to heat chems.) Wax Vaseline Ice Water Distilled water Step One. (a) Powder the aspirin to a FINE consistency. (b) Place this powder in warm Methyl Alcohol, Stir vigorously. (nll aspirin will dissolve.) this time.) filter again, combine alcohol. (d) Allow the alcohol to evaporate in the shallow dish. This will leave almost pure acetysalicylic acid crystals. Step Two. Now the fun begins.... (a) Make a hot oil bath. Electric fry pan, not quite 3/4 full with oil, set therm. on 150 deg. Place beaker in bath add acid to beaker (150ml) (b) Add 40 grams of acid crystals to 150 ml sulfuric acid (already in bath). Dissolve ALL crystals. take out beaker. Step Three. I recommend doing this outside ! (a) SLOWLY (!!!) start adding 58 g of sodium nitrate (or 77g of Pot. Nit.) to the beaker while stirring continually. A red gas should be formed. This is Nitrogen trioxide, It is VERY poisonous in VERY small amounts ! STAY AWAY FROM IT !!! If the mixture foams (and it probably will) just wait for the foaming to subside. (c) Dump thil (for bath to heat chems.) Wax Vaseline Ice Water Distilled water Step One. (a) Powder the aspirin to a FINE consistency. (b) Place this powder in warm Methyl Alcohol, Stir vigorously.

(c) Dump this into twice its volume of crushed ice and water. (d) Filter out the Bright yellow crystals that form. Step four (almost home) (a) Place the filtered yellow crystals in 200 ml boiling DISTILLED water. Let the water cool and filter the crystals This is now VERY VERY pure Trinitrophenol (b) Remove most of the oil from the oil bath. place a Pyrex dish in the bath add enough oil to heat the dish without contaminating the T.N.P. Heat this to 80 deg (C) and hold it there for two hours. maintain the temp with a thermometer. Remove from heat Step five (at last !) (a) Take the T.N.P. crystals and powder them to a face powder consistency. (b) Mix the crystals with 10 % Wax and 5 % vaseline (% by weight) (c) Knead this (RUBBER GLOVES !) to a uniform consistency. (d) Shape into 4 X 4 X 1/5 slabs. You may use as much or little as the job requires. Remember, T.N.P. is stronger than T.N.T. (The military used this for filler in artillery shells circa 1888 (deriving it from coal tar)) REMEMBER this is still toxic. Also after storage (or contact with metal) it will form dangerous PRIMARY explosive salts. a slight bump could go BOOOOOOM ! So USE IT !!! Good luck and I wish you well with those tree stumps (neighbors cat, etc.) The Survivor was here !
