I forgot about that book. I've have that one and think it is worth having. I was going to make a non-corrosive that I might be able to get to work using Olin duplex idea. But, I may just try the peroxide one first as it doesn't involve ordering anything. I do have what is need for the other one, the chem isn't normally available in most areas. It is use for electroless nickel plating.
Ron Brown's book "Homemade Guns and Homemade Ammo" is, IMO, a must have. His very easy primer compound works. I substituted sandblasting sand for the powdered glass. The mix worked and lasted for several months. Brown's book also has the details on make a chlorate generator with scrap materials.
