Introduction
In my travels, I have witnessed many explosive creations. One of particular note, is fire oil. Used in the far east, fire oil has an incredible explosive capability. However, it also sticks to anything it touches.
The following pages detail the required ingredients to create fire oil, along with the process of combining them.
Quicklime
This is a highly caustic compound. It is created by the endothermic reaction of heating limestone. Ensure it is crushed before use. To avoid bodily harm, suitable containers and hand protection should be used.
Sulphur
Also known as yellow crystals. Odorless, insoluble and brittle as a solid. But as gas, quite toxic, preventing respiration. Like quicklime, it should be crushed before use.
Naphtha
A colourless, flammable solvent. One of the more volatile fractions of the fractional distillation of coal tar.
Preparation
The quicklime, sulphur, naphtha and[sic] can be mixed at any time. A large container, such as a barrel, is recommended for holding them in.
Once combined, exposure to a naked flame will result in an instant reaction so great care must be taken. A fuse of some sort should be used to provide a suitable delay.
