Hi All
I found some potassium permanganate yesterday in a chemist and some glycerine.
I noticed that the potassium was in crystallized form and when I mixed the 2 chemicals together nothing happened.
I tried breaking the crystals and grinding them to a powder, then with a small amount I added the glycerine and that seemed a little better (it smoked but no flame), has anyone tried this method of firelighting and if so do you have any ideas how to make this work better.
Thanx a lot.
