Some questions
Hey, im new here and i dont have much expierence at making
( all ive made was AP, AMMONAL, HDN, GRG-1 and FP). Now i want to make something better, more powerful, so which one would you recommend from these
TNP ASA/H2SO4/xNO3 method or CTMTNA HCL/KNO2 method or NG too H2SO4/xNO3 method. Which from these is safest, easiest to make, and i have very less
info abotu CTNTMA mayeb somebody have tryed to make it? Is it cap-sensitive? And one more question: Am i able to get at least 95% suplpfuric acid by
distiling ~35%?
PS: Sorry for my bad english, and please dont write shit about these if you haven`t ever made it.

Heating 35% H2SO4 will evaporate the water it contains leaving ~98% H2SO4. . .
And for answers I can recommend is Davis' "Chemistry of Powders and Explosives", a book you'll find in the site library!

without a doubt... TNP!
Safer than NG, also regarding storage, higher yield than CTMTNA and much more versatile than both. From TNP you can go --> DDNP, xPicrates,
clathrates, etc...

R-Salt- d=7800m/s. Toxic with regards to carcinogenicity. I never had any desire to make this myself for this reason. Sensitivity not anything to
lose sleep over.
Picric d=7300m/s. A good choice, but dyes everything yellow. Rather annoying. Sensitivity: as harmless as an explosive gets, unless you allow
contact with metal salts or electropositive metals. While the straight up metal salts are poor primaries, as nitro-genes says it can be used for DDNP
or clathrates. Very insensitive material, may need a booster depending on your taste in primaries.
NG d=7700m/s. Perhaps a bit sensitive, but if properly neutralized can sit around for years without decomposition. If you are not confident in your
ability to neutralize, avoid this material. Tastes delicious. 
But if you want to make the good stuff....can you get aminotetrazole, ?
And when referring to ones self in the English language, it is "I" not "i"...

Thanks for answers, but still i need to know am i able to distile ~35% to 96+ percent sulpfuric acid i need 100% correct answer. i still think that
CTMTNA is the best because you dont need conc acids and aspirin to get ASA in my country is expensive. I want answers from people about CTMTNA who
have made it HCl/KNO2 method.

Look for Salicylic Acid instead of ASA, most pharmacies have it in stock, although it can be ordered from some DIY cosmetic suppliers as well...
Why do you need 96%+ SA? TNP and NG synthesis can be done with ~90% just as easy. Just measure density of SA after boiling and adjust quantities
accordingly...

Best source for ASA, etc is what is termed "Bolices" - these are VERY large oval tablets designed for cattle, horses, farm animals. One pound can of
Bolices sell for $6.99 (7 dollars US). The amount of reagent in these is enormous as the binder is rather small because the "pill press" uses the
material while damp. This veterinary product can be found all over the world where farm animals are found.
Re: CTMTNA.....
There is a thread detailing most of what experiments have been completed. Search for "R-Salt" and "CTMTNA" - you'll find it there.

some more answers about these from people who have done it acid/xNO3 method would be very good.

Quicksilver, do you perhaps mean "boluses" instead? Which is just another word for pills except they're used for livestock. But of course if you go to
a vet asking for boluses, that's like asking the doctor that you need pills.. he'll ask you well what kind do you need? And then you say "Aspirin
boluses."

Yep, my spelling is atrocious but they are available at vet supply / feed and grain stores. It's aspirin so no doc needed.

have somebody of you ever made ctmtna? I like it the most because you dont need any contrentated acids to make it.

Temperature control is extremely important: more-so in that the "window" is very shallow. Lab materials should include a decent thermometer, the
better, the best.
See existing threads on "R-Salt", "CTMTNA" etc, etc all answers are there.
