"If you want an easily detonated AN mix try ANwax. Go to the nearest store an buy a bottle of wax floor polish, add 3% (it won't hurt to add some Al either, a few extra ml of acetone can allso be added to make the mixing a bit easier)of the polish to finely powdered AN and simply pour the mix into the casing without tamping it. A 2g cap will be sufficient to detonate it."
"I've never tried traditional prilled ANFO, allthough I have tried powdered ANFO. The first time i tried it 2 years ago I got a partial detonation of a 1,5kg charge, I used a 40g AP det, not very well pressed either, just tamped."
"The second time last summer I very succesfully detonated a 0,57 kg ANrapsoil charge, with a 50g ANNM charge. The AN had a very low density and was very porous. I had recrystalized it and foamed it to lower the density. A 20g booster had probably been enaugh but I hate missfires so I used a 50g just to be shure."
