How much sads needed to initiate petn?

Hmmm definitely solid info on this on the forum. Depends on how much it’s pressed.

This is a question you can answer yourself with a bit of research, or a bit of experimentation.

My only advice to you is that you should be very careful.
You're dabbling with compounds that can easily destroy your appendages or eyes, and could even take your life in quantities small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.

Tbh probably only 100mg or so, just enough to get it to the ddt and provide enough power. You might even be able to get away with 50mg but I wouldn't count on it.

It is good practice to use somewhat more than the minimum amount required. This makes for a more stable and predictable detonation. I usually use about double (which is still not very much, when you use an effective primary).

Yes you are absolutely right! 150 mg seems to me a good amount (after 12 tests, both simple and electric detonator )
