Gels For Molotov Cocktails.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Suitable, available fuels for mollies include gasoline, kerosene, diesel
|
||
|
|
fuel, and paint thinner. Kerosene has the highest fuel value and is most
|
||
|
|
effective, but gasoline is cheaper and more readily available. Any liquid
|
||
|
|
fuel that burns will work, but if it is not a petroleum-based fuel, it can
|
||
|
|
be difficult to gel. Diesel is also difficult to gel. The following mix-
|
||
|
|
tures have been field-tested in mollies and work well. All of the formulas
|
||
|
|
are fore a 1-quart bottle.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Soap Gel
|
||
|
|
1) Pour 1/2 cup of soap flakes or powder (not dishwashing detergent)
|
||
|
|
into a bottle.
|
||
|
|
2) Add fuel until the level reaches just below the neck.
|
||
|
|
3) Add 1/2 teaspoon of alcohol.
|
||
|
|
4) Periodically stir briskly until the gel forms.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Lye Gel
|
||
|
|
1) Pour 3 1/2 cups of fuel into a bottle.
|
||
|
|
2) Add 2 teaspoons of castor oil and stir until dissolved.
|
||
|
|
3) Add 1/2 teaspoon alcohol to the mixture.
|
||
|
|
4) In a large plastic measuring spoon, dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of lye
|
||
|
|
flakes in an equal amount of water. If lye powder is used, halve
|
||
|
|
these amounts.
|
||
|
|
5) Add the lye slurry to the bottle and stir occasionally for about
|
||
|
|
30 minutes until it thickens. In 1 to 2 days the mixture will
|
||
|
|
thicken to a soft jell-like consistency, similar to that of thick
|
||
|
|
honey.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Egg Gel
|
||
|
|
1) Add 3 1/2 cups of fuel to the bottle.
|
||
|
|
2) Add 2 egg whites. Separate the eggs carefully to avoid getting
|
||
|
|
yolk mixed in with the whites. If this happens, discard the eggs
|
||
|
|
and try again.
|
||
|
|
3) Add 1 teaspoon of table salt and stir until the gel forms, usual-
|
||
|
|
ly within 5 to 10 minutes. This mix should be used within 24
|
||
|
|
hours, as the gel is only stble for that length of time. If desi-
|
||
|
|
red, finely powdered charcoal or flour can be used to fill the
|
||
|
|
remainder of the bottle. This addition greatly enhances the incen-
|
||
|
|
diary effect of any gelled fuel. It can be used in a concentration
|
||
|
|
of up to 40 percent by weight or volume. In the higher concentra-
|
||
|
|
tions, the mixture congeals into a wet, granular solid that has a
|
||
|
|
high incendiary value but is unsuited for use in mollies.

Napalm B
|
||
|
|
Napalm B was developed by Dow Chemical during the Vietnam War as a
|
||
|
|
replacement for the original napalm jelly in firebombs. It is stic-
|
||
|
|
kier and burns much hotter than the original filler. The Dow formula
|
||
|
|
used 25 percent gasoline, 25 percent, benzine, and 50 percent poly-
|
||
|
|
styrene. Polystyrene is a common plastic used for such diverse items
|
||
|
|
as toys, styrofoam cups, and packaging-filer "peanuts". As anyone who
|
||
|
|
has tried to spray a styrofoam cooler knows, polystyrene dissolves
|
||
|
|
into a sticky mush when it comes in contact with hydrocarbons such as
|
||
|
|
paint or gasoline. It is this quality of polystyrene that makes nap-
|
||
|
|
alm B so effective for molotov cocktails.
|
||
|
|
Any form of polystyrene will work, but more solid forms take longer
|
||
|
|
to dissolve. Styrofoam cups or packaging peanuts dissolve faster be-
|
||
|
|
cause of their lower densities. Unfortunately, the air pockets in
|
||
|
|
their structure take up space, which means that it takes a lot longer
|
||
|
|
to produce.
|
||
|
|
The following recipe works for styrofoam cups or peanuts:
|
||
|
|
1) Fill bottle half-full of fuel.
|
||
|
|
2) Fill remainder of bottle with small pieces of styrofoam cup or
|
||
|
|
peanuts.
|
||
|
|
3) Cap and shake for 1 minute.
|
||
|
|
4) The styrofoam pieces should have dissolved. If not continue
|
||
|
|
shaking until they do. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until botlle is
|
||
|
|
completely full.
|
||
|
|

|
Napalm B-N
|
||
|
|
This is a fantastic incendiary substance. It is made by dissolving
|
||
|
|
one part naphtalene moth crystals in two parts napalm B. The resul-
|
||
|
|
ting liquid is very sticky and must be well stirred if the two comp-
|
||
|
|
onents are to blend properly. It is best to prepare it in the conta-
|
||
|
|
iner it is to be used in, as once mixed it is too sticky to remove
|
||
|
|
completely. This material burns at least twice as long as straight
|
||
|
|
napalm and is much hotter. Rather than a viscous gel, it is a thick
|
||
|
|
syrup, like honey or STP. It works very well in mollies and other
|
||
|
|
hand-thrown firebombs.
