Nitrocellulose, how it was developed

Recommended Posts

When I was a kid my older other fooled around with some nitrocellulose paper and flash powder he swiped from his ASU chemistry class. No loud bangs but a blinding flash so bright it took several seconds to recover our eyesight. That same night my brother and his friend tried burning home made black powder. It failed, burned slow and the stench from the burning Sulphur turned our stomachs.
