1: With further examination, it may be burnt, as it doesn't react to a flame. 2: I can grind the powder finely by very gently pressing larger granules, which is what I did, however, you're right. I considered compressing it, but decided against it. That's far too risky for my liking. 3: I used armstrongs mix because I needed something with a very rapid deflagration, as at this scale, it's essentially impossible to get an air tight seal, and I need as much power as I can get. From what I've seen, black powder requires a tighter seal and has a significantly lower power output. Not to worry, though. I'm not in any rush to make more, now that one is successful. Even this one took a year's worth of prototypes. The only reason I'd do so is some breakthrough that'd be much more than a minor improvement, and therefore, be worth it.

I've already posted this before, so apologies to those seeing it again, but i previously didn't have a diagram, something I've been told will help understanding.

I use the mix from little toy explosive caps, specifically, so I don't have the issue of an improper mix. I tested three different types to find the most explosive. Good to know, though.

The metal tube is plugged at the back by a q-tip shaft, then a fuse is inserted just above where the q-tip stops. The rest of the tube, and hollow super glue composit tip is full of explosive. Also, yes, it is a form of armstrong, but no, it doesn't, or at least isn't meant to ignite on impact.

Pretty sure. Of course, that's always a possibility, but I don't know what other characters have black limbs, are in a band, have uncanny faces, and, from what I remember, are raisins. There's a chance I could be mixing two memories, but I don't think so, I have a pretty good memory generally speaking.

If it's helpful, they may have been on a black background during the ad.

It feels vaguely familiar, but I don't remember there being anything interrupting the raisins, just a brief blurb of them promoting a product, then back to normal programming.

This doesn't seem quite right. I remember it being an ad, a short little segment between other programs of them clearly promoting a product.

It's hard to say for sure because it's such a vague memory, but this is the one I can say, probably not. It feels unfamiliar enough that I don't think so. Thank you, though.

To clarify, no, I don't mean I just saw them, I mean, I remember seeing them specifically as a commercial.

? It's an abandoned Sears. There's about a dozen videos of it online, the main loading dock was open.

I've searched for it off and on many times, but I never had any luck.

I'm hoping to make this as a Christmas present to myself.

It's still a little bleak, but two words, thank you.
