Mr V please educate us.
Compliments will get you everywhere ES but I will draw a veil of forgetfulness over my youthfull adventures with home made fireworks. Suffice it to say I am lucky to still have both my fingers and all three legs. Weedkiller and sugar worked well (with filter papers soaked in various metal salts as wadding one could make a re-useable, passably good, roman candle) but I never made workable gunpowder (nor did Uncle Bruv who tried to do so one Christmas with late Cousin's first Chemistry set).
