Easy to make (and safer to breathe) Napalm

Video Below...

1. Take the powdered sugar and pour about a cup into the jar.

2. Now take the oil and pour about a 3/4 cup into the jar.

3. Mix them together, add more oil or sugar as needed until you get a mixture that resembles whipped cream or butter.

That's all there is to it. Easy as I said it would be. There's a Video below so you can watch how well this stuff burns (a nice steady pace). This stuff does become kind of hard after being stored for a while. Just take the spoon and mix it up, good as new.

Experiment with it to get new effects.
Add regular or brown sugar into the mix.
Try mixing some saw dust in.

Hope you've enjoyed this instructable. Next time you're at a BBQ, take a jar of this stuff out and smear it on the grill (on the coal, not the actual grill) to help start the fire.

I do it with styrofoam and gasoline it makes the best flamethrower
Apr 14, 2009. 7:05 PMEnigmaMax says:
It takes a lot of Styrofoam just to make a little though. You should try something a little more... concentrated, like rubber (if it works.)
Apr 17, 2009. 6:05 PMstujini says:
rubber doesnt work i just tryed it two minutes ago it didnt melt... and it doesnt take much styrophoam
Apr 21, 2009. 7:37 PMEnigmaMax says:
...really? dang, that's a bummer... OH, by the way... sorry about that previous comment, styrofoam is good for making small batches. small batches.
Apr 24, 2009. 2:57 PMstujini says:
depends on how much you have but yes small batches
Oct 10, 2010. 6:24 PMDude567 says:
Ah, but 1+1=2 so small batch plus small batch equals bigger batch

if u mix the clear pvc pipe glue not the purple primer and water it make a napalm and not the kind he did it is like flammable glue
Aug 15, 2009. 7:02 AM66411 says:
I don't think that that is allowable under UN arms sanctions as well as every level of law enforcement but the stuff burns great without adding water to it basically any organic solvent like that will burn great.

How can I make this acksplode? o_O
Jul 27, 2009. 7:29 PM(seabear) says:
ignite!!!
Jul 27, 2009. 11:19 AMtemp says:
Napalm doesn't "acksplode"( =D ). Usually it's used in a way similair to a molotov cocktail. When it hiys it's target it spreads out a little but sticks to it. Then it lights on fire. Giving the illusion it explodes.
Oct 11, 2008. 6:51 PMsqueaksir says:
do u set it of with a lighter or what
Nov 12, 2008. 3:35 PMdobbish11234 says:
Ive made napalm before ( the original way ) you do set it off with a lighter or any kind of flame. if u use a lighter use the extended ones. if the napalm gets on u when it is lit it will burn ur skin off
Apr 13, 2009. 5:15 PMstujini says:
we use the matches that you can throw there these huge ones they dont burn out easly
Oct 16, 2007. 3:37 PMchazten says:
hey good idea but this mixture isnt as near as flammable as a napalm-B
