American Dynamite         

Recipe:

Mix 170 parts tolulene with 100 parts acid.  The acid made of 2 parts of 70%
nitric and 3 parts of 100% sulfuric.  Mix below 30 degrees. Set this down 
for 30 min. and let it separate. Take the mononitrotolulene and mix 100 part 
of it with 215 parts of acid. This acid is 1 part pure nitric and 2 parts 
pure sulfuric. Keep the temperature at 60- 70 degrees while they are slowly 
mixed. Raise temp to 90-100 and stir for 30 min.  The dinitrotoluene is 
separated and mix 100 parts of this stuff with 225 parts of 20% oleum which 
is 100% sulfuric with 20% extra dissolved sulfur trioxide, and 65 parts 
nitric acid.  Heat at 95 degrees for 60 min.  Then at 120 degrees for 90 min.

Separate the trinitrotoluene and slosh it around in hot water. Purify the
powder by soaking it in benzyne. Presto!  American Dynamite!
