You are lucky you still have your hand to begin with. Im sorry that had to happen to you, get well soon.

By the way a mod will probably make this topic go bye bye its illegal by the forum rules.

I don't see why this topic would be against forum rules, so we'll leave this alone.

It's not against forum rules, he didn't explain how to make the powder (and it should not be explained by any of you :wink: )

I moved this to off-topic though.

You pupously ignighted a container of flashpowder that you where holding, and the supposed moral of the story is "don't make explosives"?

More like "next time, hold the container next to your nards, so you get more than a honerable mention"...

Yes, I read his post. I always read the entire thread before posting.

One should always lable their shit. Failing to do so invites accidents.
One should store their dangerous stuff in a designated place, preferably not in your bedroom. Failing to do so invites accidents.
One should maintain their wits about them at all times. Such would probably would have prevented this occurance, as he would have remembered "oh, this contains...!".
One shouldn't use a lighter, but instead a propane torch. Using an inferior tool does not make you more of a man.

(the 4th one was in jest)
