In reference to the petroleum jelly, Sheriff Vern Warnke said: 'He had poor man's C4' - C4 being the dense, putty-like explosive used widely by the military and demolition teams.

Apparently there are still some things I don't know but need to know. You can make C4 from Vaseline??? What did he plan to use as an initiator? Is Vaseline now an assault lube? Is it available in camo tactical containers for operators? Can PETN be made from KY Jelly? Is there a book on Amazon with pictorial instructions? Please, someone hook a brotha up.

Petroleum jelly and jellied petroleum are two different animals, the former is flammable but rather harmless beauty aid, the latter is an improvised explosive/flame weapon. think napalm....
