- why not
  non liquid stump removers are almost always 100% potassium nitrate. If it doesnt say on the ingredients portion of the label there will be a caution label somewhere stating "contains potassium nitrate".

nice demo
i like the fact that actually used water to produce a homogeneous mixture, and it made me laugh when i saw the comment wondering if its explosive and it is if ground and placed in a container you could produce an explosion with this mix

how to use in rocket
i put a spring in a back then put something in the front of it with a giant hole in the middle so when you light it,it moves forward as gets burned down

Useing
How do you use it?
Do you mold it to a rocket shape or compres it into the rocket tube and lite it?
Do you grind it up like powder and put into the rocket tube or what?

  You Mold it up and stuff it inside the bottom of a model rocket.

Help with ingredients...And Process
hello, very nice video =]
but i have a few questions...
what kind of syrup must be used?
and also, i did this the other day without the syrup tho, and i ended up with the stuff a little bit lighter in color than yours, and i put a clump and let it cool down, but it never fully got dry, it was still moldable and when i lit it it started to burn and then went out...did i not cook it long enough?

- ... syrup
  the syrup is an oil and aids in the burning it is a required step of this project

Sugar Rockets
This is the propellant for sugar rockets.. well.. the video doesn't show how to make the fuel like i do.. i think my way is better, but same concept.. i made a few rockets like this that went out of sight high on a clear day. it was crazy

i'm thinking about showing how to make a rocket engine out of this fuel

- Does it stay play-doh like?
  or do you have to re-heat it to mold it to what you're putting it in???
  By Pixelized 1191965192 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~6029542~~

- it stays the same
  just keep it in an air tight container!!!

- Uhm...
  I have to disagree. When making til rcandy with sucrose (ordinary sugar) the propellant gets really hygroscopic, and might have to be packed in alu-tape etc. to avoid making it soak water. Making rcandy with sorbitol or dextrose makes it much less hygroscopic, although it is more expensive. Adding 1% red iron oxide increases the burn rate significantly!
  By Bunjabin 1191925971 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~3275092~~

- you're both right ...
  keeping the rcandy in a sealed container free from the elements will not make the rcandy expire. the hygroscopic property of sucrose will not take place when there's no water to absurb in the first place. i kept my candy sticks inside a vacuumed container for over a year

?????
why do you use the korn syrub if it works fine without it? when do you turn the heat down to 250? when do you turn the heat off? will it propell something well? and is it explosive? Sorry for all the questions
