Store it in a low humidity environment otherwise it will harden and you'll have to beat it with a hammer to get it back to a granular. It is very safe to store and I don't really know of anything quite like it. I buy it by the case and store it in the house.

Safe to store. It is illegal to mix the 2 parts and then transport it in your vehicle, unless you are licensed to transport explosives.

I dont' know anything about humidity.

eta Can anyone comment on the burn rate of the 2 parts, unmixed?

VERY safe to store

You don't really have to look out for anything since it wont blow up unless you shoot it

You can also make your own instead of paying full price for it. All it is is ammonium nitrate (fertilizer) and aluminum powder.

It has a limited shelf life so don't expect it to stay viable forever. I think 2 years is tops in an ideal environment. I had some that hardened in the bottle, I ran it through a coffee grinder & mixed it up and it wouldn't detonate.

This, it takes a rifle bullet (NOT a .22) to set it off.

Someone said that they were making a type that could be set off with a pistol bullet. I don't want to get that close.

Keep it in a SEALED ammo can and it lasts almost forever.

I've got some almost 10 years old -It still works as advertised.

Do not transport it mixed, do not store it mixed.


Be careful of objects in front of the charge as well. Many a goober has come close to being hit by flying fragments.

Don't put it in containers that are harder than the plastic dealies they come in before you shoot it. Especially don't do this with PVC pipe.

It takes standard "BOOM!" and makes it into "OH MY GOD RUN!!!!!!" because that tree you thought it might be funny to knock down just turned into a billion flying splinters.

After that I deemed it far too dangerous for my further consumption.

I've got some that is about 8 years old and it doesn't appear to have degraded at all. It's been stored in the garage so it has been hot, cold, moist, and dry. As long as the bottles are sealed well, it should store for a long time.

I last used some back in the fall so I know it still works.

Just noticed you're in Fla - maybe that's enough of a harsh environment (humidity and heat) to cause it to degrade early.

I bought some AN probably 6 years ago in ohio when we lived there that still went boom last spring at the range. As long as it's kept sealed so moisture can't get into it, it'll be fine. BTW, if you like things that go boom, it's probably the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Fwiw, a 5,5 lb charge shakes houses a mile + away... Or so said the deputy who showed up.

PVC at over 100 yds is pretty safe, but whenever we do the PVC method I feel like the ATF has a satellite homing in on my for some sort of constructive intent.

It has been a long time since I looked at the numbers, but Tannerite expands at close to 13,000 fps and C4 expands at 24,000 fps (IIRC). While it isn't as powerful as C4, it packs quite a punch.
I'll start giving a shit about what Spike Lee, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have to say about racial injustice when they stop making their living promoting it.

Don't expect the stuff to be legal much longer...thanks to YouTube, Sons of Guns, American Guns, and the rest of the re-tards brought to you by the Discovery channel.

Either by legislation or by executive fiat, some knee-jerk politician WILL take the stuff off the market soon or make it impossible for us lowly peons to use.

Yes, it is VERY odd...It IS an explosive, and you are in possession of an explosive once you mix it up.

The only thing that makes me think it is not a "trap" is that you can buy it at most stores for cash with no I.D.

There was a case here a few years back where a guy blew up a dump-truck, setting off all of the alarms at a local Nuclear power plant. There was never any call for making it (more) illegal in this state.

It's sort of like a secondary high explosive (though technically it may not be one). Requires a shockwave to decompose/detonate it, hence the need for a high velocity bullet. Subsonic rounds won't set it off. If you set it on fire nothing will happen, but if you send a sufficient shock wave through it... BOOM.

How? Tannerite does not produce a flame, it is merely gas expanding at an extremely high rate of speed.

ETA: From Tannerite's website, Tannerite is an "oxygen robber." Therefore it cannot be used to start a fire as it robs one of the essential elements needed for combustion.
I'll start giving a shit about what Spike Lee, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have to say about racial injustice when they stop making their living promoting it.

I was coming here to warn about using it in proximity to flammable materials.

I bought some of the little orange "pucks" SG was selling as rimfire exploding targets (the "boom" was about equivalent to an M-80). They had an adhesive backing so you could stick them to targets. I stuck a few on a piece of cardboard, and the blast actually ignited it.

No way would I use it around dry leaves or grass.

The cardboard backer I mentioned was actually in flames from just one single little puck. I had to blow it out.
