OK ...
First off, Aluminum Powder plus lacquer is called “rocket fuel”.
Secondly, aluminum powder in intimate mixture with iron oxide powder is a form of thermite.
I’m quite sure that the dopant qualified as rocket fuel. You’ll have to do a little more work to show that the Al powder and the Fe2O3 powder were in sufficiently intimate mixture to have a thermite reaction.
I’m mildly curious as to whether you personally have ever made and used thermite. I have.
Napalm and sticky napalm, small batches, just to do it as a yute, not thermite. I had magnesium, but no barium peroxide.
BTW, kerosene and Palmolive doesn't burn worth a damn, but it makes a great hand cleaner.
