Can you help me?Where can i find KNO3 and fuses in Greece????

I don't know, but I do know that you can't find them in the General Chemistry section...

This shouldn't be here... maybe you can find some help in the Reagents and Apparatus Aquistion forum or the Miscellaneous forum.

I don't know about Greece... i just bought KNO3 from a local pharmacy/drugstore. oftentimes they won't stock it so just ask the nice person behind the counter to order you some saltpeter. its not too expensive either, less than 2 dollars american for a nice little bottle. As for fuses, try on the internet at cannonfuse.com. otherwise maybe some well stocked gun stores would carry it.

cannonfuse does not send out fuses out of america last time i checked... maybe it has changed though

Beanspike,

i`ve found a odd mistake at cannonfuse.com

-----------------------------------------------------------
"Quebrachitol nitrate. Monomethyl cyclohexanepentanitrate"
-----------------------------------------------------------

Quebrachitol nitrate --->
2-methoxy-1,3,4,5,6-pentanitroxycyclohexane or
methoxycyclohexanepentolpentanitrate
>CHONO2-CHOCH3-CHONO2-CHONO2-CHONO2-CHONO2-CHONO2->

monomethyl cyclohexanepentanitrate should be
1-methyl-2,3,4,5,6-pentanitrocyclohexane or
pentanitro-h-toluene
>CHCH3-CHNO2-CHNO2-CHNO2-CHNO2-CHNO2-CHNO2->

It`sss fun when you nitrating o-methyl-l-inosit,
a little bit expensive for around 90$ per gram but
it`s possible.

:cool::P:cool:

the correct formulas

>CHONO2-CHOCH3-CHONO2-CHONO2-CHONO2-CHONO2->

>CHCH3-CHNO2-CHNO2-CHNO2-CHNO2-CHNO2->

Krypton, where did you find that? I've looked over the site a few times and can't find what you mentioned.

Deus, you are right, I guess they do not ship out of the country.

Beanspike, you can`t find that when you search, it`s science from the dark side or from the other side. Either you have it or not.

Here the safety data sheet to one of Quebrachitol as starting material for
l-methoxycyclohexanepentolpentanitrate.
