If you made nitroglycerine on your own you are correct.

That is an exothermic reaction that can easily get away from you with explosive consequences.

We used an ice chest full of saltwater and ice and a home thermometer to keep the temperature below freezing while mixing.

Like I said, I never should have survived to adulthood.

My 12th grade chemistry teacher made nitroglycerine for us and we blew a 2 foot hole in the end zone of the football field.
