Using your torch and KNO3 there....

Isnt there a risk of maybe oxidizing the blade in the snowblower too much to the point that when you use it again, it could break?

[Nighthawkinlight]

I haven't experienced nitrate oxidizing steel that quickly. I suppose it's possible. fortunately it didn't happen to me here.

@Nighthawkinlight

Alright, thanks..i was planning on quiting after this fourth of july, and try to save my knowledge until im of legal age. I was going to work with a friend of my mom's for a while since he is a pyrotechnic that makes and lights the shells for my area, but when police came to his house to break up a party, they found m-80's and suspended his liscense for a coupla years so he decided not to do pyro again...my luck eh? lol

@mastermakerhacker Most will allow you to attend the shoots, but you will likely not be able to become a full member until then.

@Nighthawkinlight

Do clubs accept people under 18? lol

[Nighthawkinlight]

@mastermakerhacker It is true that federally you can build your own fireworks without license but you do need a license to store them. The license is much cheaper than 3k however. It can be obtained for less than $100 if I remember correctly. Join a local club to find what you must do to comply with the regulations specific to your area.

@Nighthawkinlight

As long as your over 18 i think and are not going to store them for later use, its legal...storage liscensing cost around $3000.00 altogether i believe..the main reason people get busted is for having large amounts of flash powder lying around and that can be a fine up to $250,000 and some jail time.

[derekroolz]

Yes but storing them you must have a license....i dont know if that true for all states though.

[JumboshrmpXS]

So that's what you look like

[xBangergoosEx]

Oh i see. For some reason your face matches what your voice sounds like. I know thats wierd, but its the first thing i noticed lol

[ChemXu]

Alright. Great idea to use kNO3 to get rid of the log there though.
