Best thing about this formula you are wanting to make is,,, Just forget it and find a safer formula for your needs.

The strange thing about this explosive is that when it goes off it doesn't all go off and very small amounts of unexploded material is spread over several square feet so that if you go over that area with a broom you can hear crackle sounds as very small
quantities are set off by the friction of the broom.I would expect that an explosive of this extreme sensitivity would all go off at one time but it doesn't.I never have heard a good explanation of this phenomena.

Where have you ever encountered any item that behaves perfectly as theory would predict? If only the WiZ were still alive to comment!

It goes off when it feels like it.

That's the only consistent explanation for its behavior.
Detonation at whim.

Some 40 years ago, when I last made some of this stuff, I observed
it going off in the bottom of a beaker full of water. *Bloop!*
Why is there water splashed out onto my bookshelf? Watched for
a minute, then again, *bloop!*, more water on the bookshelf.

"Stable when wet", yeah, riiiight.
