Ouch. I bought the kit but didn’t make any of the explosive, since I was able to find some RWS 1075s. Thank you for posting. It’s embarrassing to admit you may have made a mistake, but big kudos for putting it out there so others can learn to be safer. Yes, if you watch the fellow in the video he kind of scoops sprinkles and churns gently. Mortar and pestle was probably where you went wrong. Make sure you take care of that and if you see signs of infection don’t wait to see a doc.

I have done the same thing. The mistake is trying to crush out the lumps with all the powders mixed.Always crush out the lumps in the big bag white powder first. After that add the other powders . Best way to mix the powders is to pour it back and forth in two cups or on a sheet of paper. If you must use a stirring stick of some sort,use a fairly long piece of wood or plastic. I now mix wet with water.No risk of a burn with that.

and this is why i don't mess with making priming compounds. the chemistry is not difficult but how sensitive the product is makes having an accident too likely. one small explosion in the home and I believe I will no longer be allowed to continue this great hobby.
