I also use Sodium Nitrite mixed with Potassium Nitrate in a small Lee Melting Pot with a P.I.D. Temp. Controller to Anneal Cartridge Brass . So it has other Shooting related uses.
After you have explained all of TO24, you still need to tell us what’s the best way filling the caps/using hardener if any, and then which of the good water repellents to use. After all that, maybe your take on casting lead? Thanks :)
I use awesome cleaner to clean my black powder firearms and it works very fast and I have never had rust to form anywhere in or on my black powder firearms. Awesome cleaner just eats all fouling up and it comes off easily. I rinse them well with hot water dry them with a heat gun or blow dryer and oil them well. My barrel are 45 years old and still looking like new . If you don't remove the corrosive from anything it's going to rust. I have found out years ago awesome cleaner is great for cleaning black powder firearms and removing all burnt powder and cap fouling. I spray it straight out of the bottle onto my part's and in barrel without deluteing it wait a few minutes bore brush and rinse clean and dry it and oil the parts and never have rust problems. And my oil is G-96 and it works great for cleaning and rust preventative and it's a rust remover!
I believe you, but I prefer hot water, Dawn, and a brush. I dry mine a few seconds over a burner on my gas stove. For lube I use Vaseline and a little WD40. It's about whatever works!
Very well said about the cleaning. I'd like to add that every percussion gun owner should purchase a set of high quality hollow ground screw drivers like the ones made by Grace USA. I've had my pistols down many times and the screws still look like new. Hollow ground screwdrivers put even pressure near the base of the slot so you won't get any ugly "buggered" screw heads.
Good point. Pietta especially seems to use soft screws anyway and then torques them down really tight. I've had to use penetrating oil to get them loose the first time.
You didn't mention what kind of Vinegar as in White or apple Cider and did you use Household Cooking Concentration or Commercial Cleaning Concentration as sold at Home Depot ?
While just looking at Tetrazene , I noticed that it's used in a bunch of different insecticides , lawn killers. Would it be viable to leach it out of these , or would that just be more aggravation??? I came from a machinist background. Enjoyed chemistry in school, but didn't go in that direction in life. I've taken a nap since school, and don't remember much about chemistry. With your teachings, I'm sure I can come out with most of my fingers.
❤ just for the sake of asking. It appears that you are using cleaning or industrial grade vinegar and not regular distilled household vinegar. Am I correct.
I happen to have a good quantity of Sodium Nitrite but it’s food grade. Would that be a problem? PS - I used to use it for salt bath annealing before I built my induction annealer
I was studying about using the match heads , and red phosphorus mix. Everyone is saying that it needs really pure red phosphorus to ignite repeatably. Other than scratching off matchboxs I can't find a way to make it. Was told that it was hard to scrape it without getting impurities scraped off as well. Is making red phosphorus just dangerous to takle in the kitchen lab?? I can find the formulas, but just how to make it isn't easy to find. Like i could send you the formula to my biscuits , but without a detailed recipe, they aint gonna be like mine. But biscuits won't blow your hands , n head apart 🤔🤣.
I can't say, I've never worked with phosphorus. But if I was going to I think I'd buy it. And I'd do some serious research about it first. Phosphorus can be dangerous.
As simple and easy as it is to just make, why bother trying to scrounge it? I think it'd be easier to make sodium nitrite than try and extract tetrazene from pesticide.
@@timesgonetech3057 Just wandering? I didn't realize it is used for so many uses. Also I didn't check the price of any of the items. So I'm sure your example is the cheapest anyway.
@@timesgonetech3057 I thank you for the quick replies. Looking forward to learning what you have to share. It was just a few days ago finding your channel. Immediately was a subscriber.
This is a lot safer than Amonium trinitride AKA Nitrogen triiodide. That stuff is wickedly unstable and dangerous to the point that I will not sharethe method to anyone highly trained in Chemistry
Just a hair under 60%. And I really can't explain the dead press phenomenon. It is strange. But when some primary explosives are compacted to increase density they simply stop detonating and become hard to even ignite. I've read Mercury fulminate dead presses very easily. But I have no idea why. I don't really understand how my car works either except on a basic level but that never stopped me from driving it. :-)
@@timesgonetech3057 My grandmother's first husband had his hand blown off by a chunk of mercury fulminate he was holding - his thumb was found on a neighbor's roof over 200 ft away, it still had 6" of tendon attached that had pulled out of his forearm, he mentions the episode in a book he wrote called "Dynamite Stories" - he was an explosives expert and explosives still got the best of him on that occasion (if I mentioned this before please accept my apology). I think it went off by sympathetic detonation ie a loud bang on his work bench set it off. The book is available for free download if anyone is interested.

Coming up in Part C.
Thanks for doing a reupload with the corrected formula!
I will have to watch again to catch the update, I was fast forwarding through the previous content and missed it.
I really enjoyed your video and thanks for the good information on making percussion caps

nice thanks brother. God bless you for sharing the info
very nice i like
Hi Terry. Will you be posting another video of the TO24 or is Part 1 and 2 the end
Just posted it and wrapped up the series. Looking forward to my next series! :-)
You didn't mention what kind of Vinegar as in White or apple Cider and did you use Household Cooking Concentration or Commercial Cleaning Concentration as sold at Home Depot ?
White vinegar, regular 5%.
While just looking at Tetrazene , I noticed that it's used in a bunch of different insecticides , lawn killers. Would it be viable to leach it out of these , or would that just be more aggravation???

❤ just for the sake of asking. It appears that you are using cleaning or industrial grade vinegar and not regular distilled household vinegar. Am I correct.
I use regular 5% household vinegar.
I have noticed that your original video on your TO24M primer mix is no longer available. Did you get shadow banned???
No. I removed it. It served its purpose. I may just add a disclaimer at the beginning and reload it.
@@timesgonetech3057 Wise move

Should not be a problem so long as it's 99% or better pure. Mine's 99.9% and is made for curing fish eggs into caviar.
@@timesgonetech3057 thank you!!
Beaker and stir plate?
If ya got em, use em! I don't need no stinking stir plate!

I've never made it and I know how!
@@timesgonetech3057 I made it as a pre-teen and made some wildly fun fly paper and even though it made spectacular fly paper, I grew out of that phase
Did you get a 50% greater yield (40% -> 60%) with the warm technique? Also, the dead pressing phenomenon sounds really odd, how do you explain that?
