Lieman Beware! Many people have seriously injured themselves playing with this substance. I suggest starting out small ( < 1 oz. iodine ). Here is the nice simple method: Take iodine (not iodine solution) and mix it with ammonia. Let it sit for a while and then run the mess through a paper towel. The lump of stuff will blow up as it dries out. Beware the fumes of ammonia--not only are they less then fun, but they are almost sure to attract attention (not to say that the explosions won't). net.rec.bangs anyone?
