New?
The first US patent using strong alkalines & water (including ammonia)
for bending wood is from 1856.
Wow, what memory!
Oh, the making of explosives or drugs from Nitric Acid and Glycerine
is non-trivial process requiring a few more ingredients and a great
deal more care - so not to worry. Of course, I am guessing Jon's
reference went well over the heads of most here.
Who was the first to mention glycerine and Nitric acid?
Fortunately it didn't go over your superior head, that's because you read
and do your homework before you post to make it seem that you're so
knowledgeable. The OP was about forming wood for chassis, the rest was a
little levity until your Narcissistic ass came along. Crawl back in your
hole Weicked Waste.
But the bottom line is that unless one has access to anhydrous ammonia
(a gas at STP, a liquid if stored under pressure), this is an entirely
impractical suggestion. Further to that, the material is quite
dangerous, difficult to contain and handle, corrosive and smells
strongly - just like, uh, AMMONIA. Bret cannot be serious unless he
really wants to cull the herd some.
I am sure he appreciates your caution. Thank you so much. What would this
NG
do without your knowledge, even if it's mostly plagiarized?
