                                By Iceman

       The following article is for informational purposes only
       and is only to be used by someone that has official
       orders. The information expressed below is to educate the
       reader and nothing more. It is not necissarily the opinion
       of the author that it be used.


OK. Now that that's out of the way, here's a brief into to what we
       will be making.

       Picric Acid is usually used as a booster explosive combined
       with DDNP, HMDT, and TACC. All it does is create a large
       enough explosion to set off the main charges.

       Picric acid is a stable explosive, and will usually not go
       off unless something with the force of a blasting cap ignites it.
       You are warned now that you should not handle picric acid, as
       it will burn the skin and possibly right through you.

       The following is a list of materials that you will need in order
       to make it.

Materials :
       Asprin Tablets
       95% Pure alcohol
       Concentrated sulfuric acid
       Potassium nitrate
       Water
       Paper towels
       Canning Jar - 1 pint
       Glass rod
       Glass containers
       Glass dish
       Cup
       Teaspoon
       Tablespoon
       Pan
       Heat Source
       Tape

Now how to make it!!!

       Crush 20 tablets into a glass container. Add one teaspoon of water
       and work it into a paste. Next, add approximately 1/2 to 1/3 of
       a cup of alcohol to the mixture, and keep stirring while pouring.
       Now, filter the solution through that paper towel into another
       glass container. Destroy the other shit left on the paper towel.
       Pour the solution into the glass dish. Evaporate the alcohol and
       water by placing the dish into a pan of bot water. The remains
       will be white powder.  Mind you that this water should not be
       boiling; just hot.(It should not burn your hands).

       Once that is done, you are halfway done. Now. Pour 1/3 cups of
       the sulfuric acid into a canning jar. Add the white powder
       to the acid. Heat that jar in a pan of simmering water for 15
       minutes, then remove. The solution will turn a yellow-orange color.
       Add 3 LEVEL teaspoons of potassium nitrate in 3 portions to the
       solution, and stir vigorusly. It wll change different colors, then
       back to yellow. Allow the solution to cool to room temp while
       stirring occasionly.

       Now, SLOWLY pour the solution into 1 + 1/4 cups of cold water
       and allow to cool. Filter that solution through another paper
       towel into the glass container. Light yellow particles will
       collect on the paper. Wash those particles with 2 tablespoons
       of water. Discard the liquid waste in the conatiner. Place the
       remaining particles in a ceramic dish and set in a hot water bath
       for 2 hours.

Finally!

       Finally! You have just completed a VERY powerful booster explosive
       that is to be used in conjuction with HMDT, DDNP, or TACC. This
       acid coupled with the above produces a fucking huge blast, so
       don't be even fucking NEAR the explosive when it goes off!

       The above can be detonated very simply. Just use a blasting cap.

                       Good luck and happy blasting!
