Season One - Episode Seven: "A No-Rough-Stuff-Type Deal"
Episode Description:
Walt becomes more comfortable with his new criminal identity. Jesse, still reeling from what has transpired under his roof, decides to sell his house. Skyler's sister, Marie (Betsy Brandt), throws Skyler a baby shower and gives a questionable gift.
Episode Overview:
Although he should be worried, Walt finds it erotically exciting to stay one step ahead of the police investigation that could ultimately tie him to a pair of murders. While the beating he suffered has Jesse looking to sell his house and get out of the drug trade altogether, the new deal Walt has negotiated is restarting their meth lab in order to satisfy the ruthless Tuco. But even though they come up woefully short of what was promised, Walt still convinces Tuco to underwrite the purchase of more equipment and materials for their business. Meanwhile, as she looks to Dr. Delcavoli for a ray of hope in Walt’s battle with cancer, Skyler’s arrest while returning an expensive baby shower gift has led her to suspect that it was stolen by her sister, Marie.
To make good on the four pounds of meth he promised to deliver to Tuco every week, Walt devises a new process and sends Jesse to procure a long list of lab equipment and chemicals. To get the time away from home he needs to complete his work, Walt tells Skyler that he is going to spend a few days at a Navajo healing ceremony. However, when Jesse come up one ingredient shy of what they need to manufacture the next batch, Walt’s homemade bomb helps them carry out a daring nighttime raid on a chemical plant to steal it. And when problems with their mobile lab force them to relocate their operation to Jesse’s basement, they risk being discovered during a realtor’s unexpected open house.
As Walt and Jesse narrowly avoid having their operation exposed by a family looking at the house, Skyler confronts her sister about the theft. While Marie insists that she has no idea what she is talking about, Skyler isn’t convinced. But when Walt returns home from his weekend away and Skyler makes it clear that she suspects that Marie is a shoplifter, he suggests that people will sometimes do whatever takes - even break the law - for their families. Finally, after delivering a new batch to Tuco, Walt and Jesse get the go ahead to produce as much meth as they can.
I love these scenes where Walter explains science and history to jesse.
It's like a part of him still hasn't given up on Jesse as a student.
@@sillykyle17 both of you are fanboys
@@codygenius3723 correct.
@@sillykyle17 lol so am i
That's the part of walt that still exists in heisenberg. His transition from walt to heisenberg wasn't immediate. You still see bits of the old genuine walt
Walter is so happy in this scene. He is in his element. Ripping the duck tape with his teeth and measuring while talking. He is awake and alive and going for it.
Measuring what
@@jonathan-rw3mx Thermite?
"In his element" I see what you did there.
Haha "duck tape"... seriously?
@@GammaStyleGaming so when you say duct tape out loud. You acctually enunciate the t in duct? I always say it like duck.
Walt's smile at Jesse's panic was so funny
Weirdly wholesome too, considering how their relationship evolves
And I think this was the last time Walt actually smiled about something that is funny to him,not considering that smile when he brought pizza and dipping sticks to Skyler
i loved it
What Walt didn't tell Jesse is that thermite is VERY stable and requires a 1000 degree magnesium flash to ignite it.
@@Killzoneguy117 I was thinking the same thing :c
It doesn't matter what the subject is. The best teachers were always the ones who had a genuine passion for their material.
Yes!
Passion is what differentiates a good teacher from an inspiring one
I hope when I become a History teacher I'm like this, minus the meth and cancer of course ;-)
I had a really good AP English teacher, incredibly passionate, extremely smart and fantastic at his job. He also taught regular English due to budget cuts and it was unfathomably depressing to be in library study hall seeing his face drop when none of the kids would sit and write their papers in the library's computer lab. Like, imagine 12th graders tossing paper airplanes, constantly trying to sneak out of the computer lab when he wasn't looking, and pretty much acting like they were in Elementary school. I imagine that's how Walt felt everyday teaching high school chemistry but cranked up to infinity since he could've been a billionaire if his pride didn't get in the way.
At 1:16 is one of the only moments where Walter genuinely smiles in the whole series
And pizza time xD
@stqrsceam doesn't have to be, he still smiles
@stqrsceam oh I see lol, mb 😅
He smiles slightly at the end of the episode where he tells the two bozos to stay out of his territory.
Don’t forget the hell yeah scene
I wish Walter White was my chemistry teacher, I would totally apply myself
@Henry-Bart well ...... no I wouldn't. I just wanted to say it.
And he would apply you as his distributor
@@keeloraz9452 LMAO i respect the honesty
if walt felt more respected, even in a high school teacher setting, things would've gone down much much differently
@@keeloraz9452 Oil? Who said something about oil?? B*tch you cooking ?!
Back when things used to be so much more playful and innocent
@DoogieBowser well you know, more innocent than it would get.
@@Nimbus3690 Yeah, Walt kills a guy in the first episode, things were never light hearted.
@@paulinezugzwang1773 things were very light hearted because of the dynamic between Jesse and Walt. And the guy he killed was someone threatening to take his life so it wasn't dark at all.
@@Nimbus3690 I'm not saying it wasn't justified, but killing someone, especially for someone like Walt, who was innocent is very dark and soul crushing. He's never the same after it, especially after killing Krazy 8 with his own hands. His relationship with his family is never the same as well since there is no way he can tell Skyler about killing someone.
I agree that Jesse was a lot more innocent and light hearted at that point, though.
@@paulinezugzwang1773 I know you didn't mean it was justified. I was saying the killing was less dark compared to, say, Gale's later on, precisely because it was more justified than Gale's. In other words, it still retained the lighthearted quality even after the first killings
I loved these early scenes when you could see the chem teacher in Walt peeking out. He may have been bitter about missing out on bigger things, but you can't deny that he enjoyed telling educational stories like this.
I think in a small way, he enjoyed his teaching job. People who are as intelligent as Walt tend to enjoy teaching.
@@caleviwin We see him serval times where hes enjoying his job. Its the response from the others thats frustrating.
@@mistameff3528he should have been teaching at a university, not a high school
The gustav actually had to be repeatedly sheltered in bunkers to avoid being bombed, because much to the disbelief of Mr. White, thousands of pounds of explosives tend to do the trick when being dropped on mechanical equipment of any sort.
The Gustav was destroyed by the Germans themselves, a few days before the end of the war. They did not use thermite :-)
The event was the 155m French guns the Germans were using on D-Day, but I guess normal artillery pieces didn't evoke enough imagery for the show writers.
It was a sales pitch to make the younger listen
That powder should be stable enough to put in a hacky sack
It needs intense heat, fire from burning a Metal to even get it started
@@VincentGonzalezVeg True, it takes a LOT of heat to get thermite to start burning - about 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you ever use an angle grinder on aluminum you risk starting a thermite fire INSIDE the disk and having it bust apart and go flying.
They sheltered the Gustav with two tracks ?
This kind of reminds me of my high school physics teacher. One day he's like "Let me demonstrate Olson's Law" (his last name was Olson). He abruptly cranked the valve of one of those gas lines wide open, and struck his little spark lighter, resulting in a six foot jet of flame blasting out into the room. At once everyone's eyes opened wide and everyone was awake and paying attention. And he continues "Olson's Law states that a big-ass jet of fire wakes people up. Questions?"
Edit: He was this grizzled Navy veteran who taught science for fun, because it gave him something to do. Besides the fire stunt he once tossed a cup of liquid nitrogen at this kid who was goofing off, just to scare the shit out of him. The whole thing evaporated in mid-air and he just got hit by a cloud, but he screamed and fell out of his chair. It was great lol
Made up yo.
LMFAO
@@aniketchowdhury7338 Sorry your life and the people you know are boring but this sounds exceptionally plausible if you interact with people who have actual personalities.
@@aniketchowdhury7338 my chemistry teacher always pulled stunts like this, he let us blow up hydrogen filled balloons in class to demonstrate the difference between combustion and burning
My science teacher was an irl cartoon character so this is very plausible
In the episode where Walt showed Jesse the castor beans, Jesse said, "are we gonna grow a giant beanstalk and escape?"...hahahahahhah
or when he thought they are gonna build a robot xDDD
Or when he thought he can pour hydrofluoric acid in his tub
Ricin? Ricin what? Ricin beans?
@trollolol 2years deeznuts
Ahhhh wire 😎
I love how if you're a fan of Mythbusters, the moment Walt says "thermite" it conjours up so many images in your brain
1:17 - Walt's sick catch!
Jesse being scared of thermite baggy is beyond funny. That stuff is so unreactive that short of blow torch or magnesium filing or both would require to set it on fire after burning for a few seconds.
@genericjohnsmithname when its lit, your not putting it out until it's done. The "usual" suspects don't work (most explode on contact), and the unusual ones fail as it's a pre-oxidsed mix.
It's because Walt built it up so much before tossing it to him.
The best way would probably be to use a sparkler firework as a fuze.
Thermite is really just aluminium dust and iron rust powder (iron oxide), neither of which are particularly hard to come by in small amounts. A tiny amount of aluminium dust is found in an etch-a-sketch, but you'd need to pull apart quite a number to have this bag of thermite - making it expensive to do.
Or, you know... you could buy a bucket of each directly for a fraction of the cost, and it would be a hell of a lot less suspicious than going around buying a couple dozen etch-a-sketches :-)
(Also, technically thermite is any redox pair of a metal and a metal oxide capable of sustaining a reaction (Goldschmidt's patent on aluminothermic reactions focused on aluminium though), though this is a rather weak 'well ackshually' since red iron oxide and aluminium make for pretty much the only practically useful combination for anything other than producing pure metals from oxides... a lot of combinations are just barely exothermic and require a booster, while others are not quite so docile (look at copper thermites, for instance)).
(My favourite way to ignite iron(iii) oxide thermite is with glycerol and a permanganate... and any other thermite with that thermite)
@@IaCthulhuFthagn lol no, that would be a lot more suspicious than buying etch a sketches
Hahaha, 'Gustav' Gun.
Used to be Fring's
THE FORESHADOWING THIS SHOW HAS DONE IT YET AGAIN
It was a real thing. It was called a Schwerer Gustav, you small child.
@@LazyLizzy706 it was a joke infant.
Shobhit Singh Son, I knew it was a joke. I was only pointing out that it was a real physical entity as I know this child would wholly pretermit the fact that the Gustav was real, and that 2 ever existed during WWII. Before you suffer a panic attack as your fight or flight response triggers because of this message, I know the primary account denoted to one of the characters of Breaking Bad, Gustavo (Gus) Fring. Now, run forth, my child. There is nothing to respond to here!
These were the best times on Breaking Bad. Walter as the disappointed teacher and Jesse as the fuck up student. A brilliant dynamic
He treated Jesse more like a son than he did his actual son
I love that this show was shot on film. It gives off such a great aesthetic that sadly the movie didn't quite capture
Netflix didn't want to pony up the cost of how expensive Film is now vs digital.
to be faaaair, the movie is meant to have a much different aesthetic to the show. The movie is a lot darker, tone wise, than the show, considering its about a man with severe ptsd from being locked into a cage escaping his past
I didnt even know there was a movie
There was always something I liked less about El Camino than the tv show, and I could never put my finger on it. I think that might be it along with the cinematography
I always got the feeling that BCS has a different look than BrBa, is this why?
You know, watching this scene makes me wish they'd used this thermite stuff wreck Gus somehow. Would have been the best foreshadowing of all time.
Yeah lol, Walt explains how thermite fucked up the Gustav gun, then later on the fuck up Gustavo with thermite.
me too
that would have been interesting and more cool
how
Maybe, but Hector would’ve still had to have been the bait
So instead of the bomb simply going boom, it shot out burning thermite in all directions? That would have probably worked - but it would also have probably destroyed a lot more than just that room XD
I love how Walt notices Jesse's scared expression over the thermite's potential, so he throws the bag at him.
The chimeric relationship that they have is so fascinating. Watching a man as educated and intelligent as Walt explain things like this to Jesse makes for great television
Walt is not that educated in this particular topic, though. That German artillery piece was perfectly vulnerable to bombs, nevermind being subjected to them for a month.
@@VRichardsn yeah I had to look that up, thought like why the fuck wouldn’t a direct hit from a bomb disable it?
@@roddydykes7053
High School: The most important lesson? The Mitochondria is the power house of the cell
College: So that was a lie.
@@roddydykes7053 I think they took some cinematic liberty there, beacuse the Gustav Gun was never disabled by thermite, it was destroyed by the Germans themselves.
@@TheArrowedKnee Maybe this is an alternate reality?
i learned the power of thermite today in verdansk
The destruction of verdansk Dr disrespect sings it lol
@@Mike-cs1ft Dr Disrespect is a 45yr old guy in a wig and sunglasses who complains and acts like a bitch.
In Codm
@@DanceySteveYNWA that is supposed to be his character lol. He is just acting
@@DanceySteveYNWA 37yr old* lmao its just his act man hes not like that actually, hes just trynna set up a good show for his viewers
Gustaff gun foreshadows their ultimate encounter with Gustavo Fring. Bravo Vince
And his demise too. Cause he also got exploded 😂
@@Sconechoc just bravos all around for vince
As a history buff I must point out the Schwerer Gustave Gun had a 36 inch thick barrel wall. Many attempts to destroy them failed. When the Soviets were closing in they had to remove parts to avoid the Soviets from capturing and using them. Thermite in theory would work but your going to need a few truckloads and many, many treatments of letting it cool, remove the slag and used thermite and repeat. 1 guy with a cup of thermite would simply put a tiny pit on 36 inches of hardened German steel.
you'd honestly be better off trying to destroy anything but the barrel
The show writers got the Gustav gun and what happened to the French 155mm guns on D-Day mixed. Maybe they thought the regular guns didn't evoke enough imagery on what thermite did, or they accidentally got it wrong, who knows.
@@refraggedbean The hydraulics in the loading mechanism would be a choice target; cut some lines and cripple the gun.
I miss nerdy Walt
i miss the moments when Walt was Ned Flanders
*_Howdy doodly doo, Jesse, do you have a minute to talk about our Lord and Savior, Blue Sky?_
@@OperatorMax1993me too bro :(
honestly, this a great show for teachers and students. Jesse has potential that no one else sees yet when Walt speaks, Jesse listens...and learns. Teachers need to help students find their passion and often times it's not teaching every student the exact same way.
Jesse, we need to cook
Saul was the first one to notice Jesse was smarter than he looked.
I like to think of this as the golden era. When they were learning to work together, and it was still fun and games.
Not that the other eras weren't good (THEY REALLY WERE!!) But they were happier and Walt didn't have a massive ego!
and melting bodies🗿
They killed people by this point and almost died. Doesn’t sound all that fun, but definitely more fun than later seasons.
I always love these little teaching moments when Walt explains some science to Jesse. It's one reason the first season (and 2nd) have more of an appeal, in a way, than the later ones.
"I did it for myself.
I liked it... I was good at it"
Just started this show and I'm so addicted! I love how walt and Jesse are finally starting to get along somwhat and I hope that their relationship stays this good throughout till the end of the show
Try to avoid spoilers, u gonna have much fun. Enjoy it
welp
hehehe
well
Make sure to watch el camino and better call saul
"Boom, 45 degree angle cut in a steel beam."
"I did it for me.....I was good at it.....I was alive"
Proceeds to eat duct tape
DUCT
@@craigbielsky115 Corrected it just for you
Lmao
This scene is so wholesome. You can tell he loves chemistry
"And he could melt right through 4 inches of solid steel and destroy that gun forever."
It's crazy and pretty sad that, as much as walt loved the rush of adrenalin that came with power and getting away with crimes, he always seemed happiest when he was teaching
And then proceed naively to lift a drum barrel afterwards...
Rainbow Six Siege Thermite Backstory
Lmaoooo
thermite is just an iron filings and aluminium mixture, very easy to make. You can use a sparkler to set it off.
I think there's literally already thermite in sparklers too.
1:18 smooth catch Heisenberg
The fear on Jesse's face when Walt threw the thermite 😂
In my opinion he loved Jesse more then his own son in some aspects,tho he would never say it.
Jesse knew him,can admire him,Jesse respected him
Jesse knew his hidden talents and Jesse is a Character Walter seems to enjoy being with.
Even when they hate each other the meternal instinct he doesn't think he just acts.
He loves Jesse,in one fucked up way.
You are right, but more of a paternal instinct 😊 unless Walt feels like he's Jesse's mother
@@Jdjsucbebakzicufbr to us he was Heisenberg, but to Jesse he was Motherberg.....
I think they both loved each other in one way
Walt did, but Heisenberg is another story...
Immediately thought of the scene where Jr. helps Walt get in bed and Walt, sleepily calls him Jesse
I love these chemistry scenes . They make series soo awesome.
1:15 that smile feels so genuine
The later seasons of the show are definitely the best, don’t get me wrong, but there is something about these candid interactions between Jesse and Walter that was so fun to watch in the earlier show that I miss when watching those later episodes.
I love the parts where Walter and Jesse were good pals
During World War II, both German and Allied incendiary bombs used thermite mixtures.[47][48] Incendiary bombs usually consisted of dozens of thin, thermite-filled canisters (bomblets) ignited by a magnesium fuse. Incendiary bombs created massive damage in many cities due to fires started by the thermite. Cities that primarily consisted of wooden buildings were especially susceptible. These incendiary bombs were used primarily during nighttime air raids. Bomb sights could not be used at night, creating the need to use munitions that could destroy targets without the need for precision placement.
Wikipedia
Thank god this was a TV Show, A movie wouldnt cut it. Even if it was a trilogy.
Only thing I question is why did he get all of those etch-a-sketches?
There’s gotta be easier methods of getting aluminum and iron oxide
Jesse's aunt probably bought them as gifts for Jesse seeing as Jesse does have an artistic side to him. Jesse just never threw them out.
The Gustav? Gustavo Fring
Bombs? The Cartel Dons
Thermite? Walter White
Mind blown. Bravo, Vince.
To summarise.. don't let educated men be on the loose atleast keep them employed if you intend to do so.
It's less about being employed and more about not having enough for cancer treatment + the surgery that cost 800k in addition to how expensive his childrens' college education will be.
@@theonlygoodlookinghabsburg2081 Good social safety net then? Seems to work great for reducing crime in other countries.
@@samuelbekele3601 Yes.
This is the moment Walt Jr. became thermite
I was making up a batch of this stuff once in my early 20s because it's actually terribly simple and not as magic as you think. Just needed to get pure enough magnesium to start it. And the magnesium can be started with a cigarette lighter. They actually use it to join railway line in a rather interesting method, they use a 9 inch angle grinder to smooth it when finished. They used it A LOT in WW2 to destroy engines.
I'm going to welding school right now and I have to be careful not to make thermite on accident when I'm using my angle grinder (if you use the same disk on steel and aluminum you're gonna have a bad time).
Anyway, I've seen the thermite welding they do on railway ties and it's some really interesting stuff.
I wonder why Walt chose to get aluminum powder from etch a sketch's. It's literally available everywhere, even more places for a chemistry major
It's the only way to keep Flynn from playing with them at the breakfast table
Nobody is going to notice someone buying kids toys...he's keeping a low profile.
@@jamesfrank3213 nobody is going to notice somebody buying a jar of aluminum powder at Walmart (where it is, indeed, sold, not that far from the Etch-a-Sketches). Buying aluminum powder does not raise red flags.
Showing them building thermite out of household objects anchors what's going on to the audience more than just buying a jar of what may as well be magic fairy dust when viewed on a screen. It also seems smarter, even if it isn't necessarily the case.
@@ragingbombast Shoulda done that with the meth cooking more, then we'd all be experts 👍
I love how there’s no subtitles for walt’s dialog, make me relate to jesses confusion
Loved the series
For people watching who don’t know; the germans actually were the ones to destroy the two railway cannons named Gustav and Dora, not a commando. They did this to make sure that their enemies could not use them when captured.
He was speaking hypothetically, if they were to drop a commando with a bag of thermite he could melt through the steel
yeah he wasn't telling Jesse what actually happened. Completely hypothetical
This feels like one of the only wholesome scenes in this series
That's when hank became thermite from rainbow six
This was one of the greatest moments in Breaking Bad. Walt was still holding on to his intelligence and will. Jesse was still naive. Good things don't last forever I guess.
Season 2 was easily the best IMO
You know, Jesse flunked Walt's class, but he always seems to be very interested and paying attention to whatever Walt is doing.
I know Breaking Bad and BCS tell their stories through symbolism (the fly represents Walt's guilt, for example), but I feel like no one's ever pointed out how they showcases an example of how some students just require alternate methods of teaching to succeed.
Almost looks like a scene out of Malcom In The Middle when taken out of context like this.
The way he tosses the bag and jesse’s heart just *SINKS*
Walter made Chemistry cool again!!!
Just for information.
The gustav gun wasn't the one targeted by commandoes with thermite at la pointe du hoc, the targets were 6 155mm mle 1917 canons that had been taken from the french in 1940.
I love his reaction when Jesse asks if it will cut through a lock that smile of yeah it with cut through that lock
Imagine that all criminals will become smart as well as the Walt.
This was Walt and Heisenberg combined at their best.
That was nice of the German's to name a gun after Gus xD
One of my fav scenes
1:16 That's one genuine smile from Walt.
It shows Walt isn t a history teacher;
What he means is the assault on Pont du Hoc during the Invasion of Normandy.
Gustav and Dora were destroyed by the Germans themselves in 1945.
he might love chemistry, but clearly he got some inaccurate history, though also it seems everyone short of experts doesn't understand what actually happened in WWII
All of this... Under our noses! ❤️
I love how Walt is passionate when he talks about the history of science
Thermite....very powerful...can even bring down two...even three large buildings.
😆👏🏽👍🏽 i opened the comment section looking for this comment lol
The show could’ve keep Walt as the lovable chemistry teacher throughout, but to have him slowly turn into the bad guy is what makes this show legendary
O Love how he goes "and hitting a targetACURATELY"
That was when war became real, when the bombs were shot from home to other countries
One of the best scenes in the show
His evolution is a remarkable piece of film making.
I wonder how many people were inspired to become chemists after watching Breaking Bad.
I'm sure they inspired plenty of "chemist"...
Jessie’s best line in the entire history of breaking bad, throws his arms up and shouts “Science” says everything 🤣🤣🤣
I love how at the end jesse caught him off guard with the throw and he still got it. Thats some dad type behavior
1:12
That stare made me think what if Tobey Maguire played Jessie.
walt is smart in chemistry but dumb in physics
dont believe me?
remember how they were trying carry that big ass barrel...they lift it instead of rolling it away
It could have been cut rolling it
Eterno Del Sur ya
Or why not take a hand truck to move the barrel?
Also when they were using magnets, forgot that it can flip a truck.
@@TheMrPatrx I think he just wanted to be sure the magnets worked, so he cranked it
Back when Walt still gave a damn about education and not just educating people not to fuck with him. . .
Just the way Bryan seals the bag and finish his lesson at the same time, just, * chefs kiss *
I like how season one is full of comedy and happy moments but then it gradually gets darker.
Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, and The Wire. If you have seen those three series then you have seen without a doubt the best television ever made. If you have not, well then I am jealous of you. I wish I could rewatch those three series again for the 1st time.
I see those three and add in season 1 of True Detective.
Jesse scared while catching thermite
Was a nice touch to the scene
“Look at you, you scared now, you ho. Scared like a little white pussy” - Mike Tyson
Even with the cancer, this was Walt when he was a joyful delight, compared to when he became a terrifying delight.
This is the moment walt became mac gyvberg.
When Breaking Bad became a McGiver crossover ...
Metaphorically, the exact same thing happens to Gus Fring. He crushed the Cartel, The DEA were miles behind and Walt would have never survived an open attack. All it took was Hector and the bomb.
The character of Gus Fring hadn't been envisioned yet, so this is a case of happenstance working out to look like brilliant foreshadowing. I agree that the allegory works beautifully.
You gotta love the way Jesse flinches when Walt throws the thermite at him.
when he shook the bag I felt something in my eye
breaking bad did 9/11
With just a bag of thermite.
Shapiro Shekelberg yup
Ah to the days when Walt and Jesse's relationship was still healthy
Somewhat healthy.
@@jasondyrkacz8270 Yeah fair cop, somewhat healthy, after all the whole thing started through Walt blackmailing Jesse into entering the partnership.
“Drop a commando, with just a bag of this. He could melt through 4 inches of solid steel and destroy that gun forever.”
Meth heads united going
“Man, I wish WW was my chemistry teacher”
Only because you know he cooks the best Ice Bitch. 😂
I love scenes like this, but there are a few things that are not quite accurate: the Gustav gun was very inaccurate, very hard to transport, and was basically a giant invitation for air raids; Also, thermite cannot be lit like that - when I used it back then it had to be ignited using magnesium strips as fuse, because the thing requires ignition temperature of over 2200 celsius while most consumer blow torches don't go much beyond 1500. The beautiful part is, however, once thermite DOES start to burn it is nigh impossible to put out until it burns itself out, as thermite generates its own oxygen and copious amount of heat.
ok mr. know it all
Thanks for the info, and ignore the other guys sarcastic comment.
I always look for comments like these under BB clips
Awesome Arsam i have a name arsam
It's good to read a comment by someone knowledgeable like you.
Strangely, knowledge seems to trigger a bad reaction in some ignorant people.
Has anyone ever used thermite without magnesium fuse like ever? Its just so simple and elegant to use a magnesium fuse and it requires such little to set it off and prepare.
