I would be really surprised if this stuff can be exported out of the US now, especially in light of it now being used in the Manhattan bombings. Kinda makes you realise it is not a toy.

Also allowed to have bought gunpowder too. Humble flour can even turn explosive in the right/wrong conditions.

Powdered sugar makes flour look lame, teenage me was even more stupid than adult me and found this out the hard way

or milk powder as someone found out last week ......

Years ago a Firefighter told me the largest industrial explosion was in a custard powder factory.

is there a punchline to this?

Black powder is an explosive, but a deflagatory low explosive. Tannerite is a binary tertiary high explosive (think I got that right). I have no clue what the rules are, but there's probably a line in the sand somewhere between the two

Not Port Texas? Think that dropped a town. They were mixing a something into AN to make it flow or something, and a bad baaad baaaaad chain of events led to the largest manmade explosion of all time

EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_City_disaster

was that the rocket fuel factory ? ... that was a huge fireball ....

Aluminium powder is often on Trademe too. Or just buy it from a paint supplier.

STMPRO.co.nz in Wellington has it as well. They sell special effects stuff.

The only ingrediant requiring a 'ticket' is the gun and ammo to set it off.
