#9  You want acetone in bigger cans than you get in beauty stores, go to the paint dept of Home Depot, Lowes, or pretty much any hardware store. 5 gallon cans and mixing cups.

Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP)
Nail polish remover is essentially acetone. Beauty parlor hydrogen peroxide is more concentrated than the drugstore stuff.

Acetone is also handy for making methamphetamine. Mind the explosive vapors!

Mother of Satan, which as I recall uses mail polish remover, but no doubt also others I lack the chemistry knowledge for.

BTW: There "maybe" are other reasons for the looting of beauty supply store(s). ☺ Besides dating bribes ☺.

These stores carry the necessary chemicals in the percentages needed to make Binary Chemical Explosives.
