asteroid,

is there any chance that this might be possible with any other chemicals or materials that can be readily bought in the UK?

i really need this for a prank on muck-up day

and you proving this wrong doesn't help my efforts though i haven't actually started to get the stuff

[Asteroid]

Nope, you can't. Keystone is a UK company, but I think I can see your thought train, and it'll be quite expensive, probably more than you are willing to spend.

[stewie]

well thats burst my bubble,

is there any other ways to get the desired effects?
eg. mega loads of smoke

[Asteroid]

Not really, a regular smoke grenade isn't something without risks ie. the large flame which comes with it. Best stick with moving the teachers cars by lifting them!

[stewie]

yeah thats probably a good idea not to do the smoke thing then

[Pyrogeorge]

can anyone tell a correct coloured smoke grenade formula??

US Mil sourced 'Standard Red Smoke':

Lactose 18
Potassium chlorate 29.5
Red dye 47.5
Magnesium carbonate 5

Traditionally the red dye was a mix of Rhodamine B and Para Red but this was found to be carcinogenic. These days, you might use a blend of Disperse Red 11 and Solvent Red 1 and experiment to adjust for burn speed.

where can i found the coloured dyes?

[Asteroid]

www.dyes.com

If I remember correctly, it's about �60 for a selection pack of various colours.

Edit: The videos exposing the fake have over 17,000 views between them, and still rising!
Edit: Mar 11 2009 Between them the videos now have 28,000 views, and the youtube one is second when you google search for ultimate smoke bomb!

• The smoke erupts from the bottom really fast, within a few seconds of the mixture being lit, the grenade is smoking from both ends. This just wouldn't happen in solid KNSU mixture.
