Question:

will aluminum paste work the same as aluminum powder in the mixture for thermite?

ok me and my father are trying to make thermite. we have the iron oxide but the aluminum we only have paste and i was wondering would it work the same as if we had the powder.and if it is differnt will it work for the thermite and what will it take to light it.

Answer:

The aluminum paste may or may not work. It depends on what the solvent is that the aluminum is dissolved in. Why not get a block of aluminum and a grinder, and make your own aluminum dust?
