Strike Ignition

This are compositions that can be used to replicate German firecrackers or for making matches. Scratching against a match box or rough surface will ignite the mixture. To prepare this composition, mix the potassium chlorate with the glue and carefully knead in the antimony trisulfide.

Note these compositions are very sensitive too nearly anything, and are absolutely a no-go for novices!

} You can not use red gum or schellac to substitute the animal glue! Animal glue is basic, which adds to the safety, while both red gum and schellac tend to be slightly acidic. (!)Dark Titanium makes compositions Extreamly sensitive, this composition can be used to coat the tip of a match made with a safer compound, resulting in a slightly safer(in the long run, amount of composition is less) match.
