aluminum powder has many uses. it can be mixed with potassium perclorate or potassium clorate to make flash powder. it is also used in rocket engines. thermite also can be made by mixing it with iron oxide. iron oxide can be made at home. for information on how to make it at home search for it in the egg directory. iron oxide also can be found in some paint stores. well aluminum powder is used as a paint filler. it is found at "West marine" or any other boating store. it comes in a small can made by the brand "west system". the powder inside the can is extreamly fine powder. it is rather expensive thou so if u can buy it over the internet try that and u can save some money.
