The article by John Milton regarding the loss of his eye and other important parts should be taken to heart by anyone even remotely interested in "Blowing Things Up". At the peak of my experiments with such things, the worst that happen was a rocket through my parents' picture window. I have heard of many cases such as John's. Pyrotechnics is an art and science which can have serious side effects. The best advice I can give anyone is to know what you are going. Go to the library and research the subject along with a good dose of chemistry. The most important thing is not `knowing what to mix'. But, `knowing what NOT to mix' since certain combinations are unstable, and not used even in commercial situations. Trying to get more bang for the buck is dangerous at best.
