AP Putty

This is a useful mixture containing both acetone peroxide, and nitrocellulose, I used smokeless powder but you can also use homemade

nitrocellulose in this mixture on account that it has been dissolved in acetone and dried so you can measure the volume right, or you could

experiment with different weights. If mixed well, this will be more powerful than AP.

Materials: - Nitrocellulose or smokeless powder

- Acetone peroxide - Acetone

- Acetone resistant container, a butter container works well, I would try to stray away from glass in case of anything going wrong.

- stirring rod

Procedure:

Measure out your smokeless powder out using weight, and use a ratio of about 60/40 having more AP than NC. Now take the smokeless powder and

put it in the container and stir in enough acetone to cause the smokeless powder to be a gel. Next, add your acetone peroxide, and carefully mix it until it is a thick paste, you should not see any sign of AP in the mixture, it

should all look black/green (if using smokeless powder) it should look white if using pure NC, so you could always add a small touch of finely powdered charcoal to your NC before you add the AP, so you can tell its mixed well. I continued stirring the mixture for a couple minutes afterwards to get a nice even mix, then I pressed mine between two pieces of 3/8 inch pipe which I cut lengthwise, and then once I pressed them together, I used a wooden skewer to put a hole down through the middle, to decrease drying time,

then removed the two pieces of pipe and let it dry.

This is what my putty looked like when dry

Acetone is a really good explosive because it can be detonated with just a fuse and it doesn’t need to be confined. Just remember to place a fuse in it before it dies. I like this explosive a lot but it takes a while to make and you don’t get a lot from it. A piece of AP Putty about 1cm by 1cm by1cm can blow your fingers off, so be CAREFUL
