It's no secret I hate math.

If something is 40% ingredient A, 38% ingredient B, and 9% ingredient C, I need to figure out a "parts" method.

For example, can I use 4 grams A, 3.8 grams B, and .9 grams C? I know it doesn't add up to 100%, and I'm hoping the extra 10% is just inert ingredients or filler of some sort. Although I will maintain my distance when trying it for the first time.

Charcoal, Potassium Nitrate, Sulfur??

Not necessarily in that order not going for a "boom" this time

That sounds about right. But instead of grams, you should be using pounds. Or kilos.

Correct, it the original formula is the percentage by weight.

Yeah. It's 1 part shit, two parts crap and three part poop but they are 8 parts. Fuck it. Shot cares what the rest of the shit is.

In retrospect, using powdered sugar instead of regular was a bad idea.

If the big squares equal 100 and the lines equal 10 and the little squares equal 1 then.....................

I asked my daughter for help, but she started along about "making tens", and I kept telling her "no, I'm making smoke bombs", and the conversation just never really went anywhere. Sort of like a Common Core "who's on first".
