Been there, done that. (Secret experiments at school!)
Unfortunate point about merc.fulminate is just how sensitive it
is..detonates even with water dropping on it.
In fact, that was the basis of the as-yet-unpatented Balin Fly Killer..a
cube of sugar with a little bit of jam (jelly?) on it, dollop of
merc.fulm. on the jam, leave to dry, put on windowsill, fly comes along,
lands, BANG, flies off (in several different directions at once)
You can tell I was destined for a caring profession, can't you?
