Does any one know the recipe for thermite?
I think that thermite is made with aluminum powder and rust powder but im not sure that is the exact recipe and i need to know the ratio.

If you don't know, iron oxide is rust and the aluminium needs to be a powder or small granules. Just FYI. (Below fwjs28 says where you can get Al powder easy.)
