I had one of those cheap chemistry sets as a kid. One day, I decided to make "Kitty Gas", which is nothing more than a mixture of melted paraffin wax and sulphur.

I the whole house ended up smelling like brimstone. Mom thumped me a couple times and took everything out of that chemistry set that she thought was flammable, dangerous, or explosive. That was pretty much it for the chemistry set.

I moved on to model rocketry.......
