A moist explosive mixture can be made from fine aluminum powder combined with carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloroethylene. This explosive can be detonated with a blasting cap.
R.D.X., also called cyclonite, or composition C-1 (when mixed with plasticisers) is one of the most valuable of all military explosives. This is because it has more than 150% of the power of T.N.T., and is much easier to detonate. It should not be used alone, since it can be set off by a not-too severe shock. It is less sensitive than mercury fulminate, or nitroglycerine, but it is still too sensitive to be used alone.
ANFO is an acronym for Ammonium Nitrate - Fuel Oil Solution. An ANFO solves the only other major problem with ammonium nitrate: its tendency to pick up water vapor from the air
Nitroglycerine is one of the most sensitive explosives, if it is not the most sensitive. Although it is possible to make it safely, it is difficult.
A few recipes to make various plastic explosives.
From the Improvised Munitions Handbook Department of the Army TM 31-120 Article#2:
This section is a rather complete listing of secondary high “explosives. They are listed in no particular order and thay all “have a bit of information about them again, just like the “primary high explosives.

THIS EXPLOSIVE IS A POTASSIUM CHLORATE EXPLOSIVE. THIS EXPLOSIVE AND EXPLOSIVES OF SIMILAR COMPOSITION WERE USED IN WWI AS THE MAIN EXPLOSIVE FILLER IN GRENADES, LAND MINES, AND MORTER ROUNDS USED BY FRENCH, GERMAN, AND SOME OTHER FORCES INVOLVED IN THAT CONFLICT.
Dynamite is nothing more than just nitroglycerin and a stablizing “agent to make it much safer to use.
Mercury fulminate is perhaps one of the oldest known initiating “compounds. It can be detonated by either heat or shock, which would make it of “infinite value to a terrorist.
RDX can be obtained from C-4 explosives with the use of gasoline. It can “be used as a booster explosive for detonators or as a high explosive charge.
Ammonium triiodide crystals are foul-smelling purple colored crystals “that decompose under the slightest amount of heat, friction, or shock, if they “are made with the purest ammonia (ammonium hydroxide) and iodine.
Unstable Explosives by the Jolly Roger
Mix solid Nitric Iodine with househould ammonia. Wait overnight and then pour off the liquid.
You will be left with a muddy substance. [...]
Nitro is very sensative to decomposition, heating dropping, or “jarring, and may explode if left undisturbed and cool
This blows up 500 square feet “so don’t do it in an alley!!
Lead Picrate is used as a primary explosive in the fabrication of detonators. “It is to be used with a booster explosive such as picric acid or RDX.

Dynamite is nothing more than just nitroglycerin and a stablizing agent to “make it much safer to use.
Acetone Peroxide is a primary explosive that can be made from hair bleach (Hydrogen Peroxide), acetone, and sulfuric acid. This explosive is to be used in the fabrication of detonators.

Directions on how to manufacture Acetone Peroxide in a kitchen
Acetone Peroxide (in this text refered to as AP) is a primary explosive “which is easily obtained by the mixing of Acetone and 30-35% Hydrogen “Peroxide by the catalysts of a mineralic acid (E.g Sulphuric Acid). “It can also be used in conjunction with Ammonium Nitrate in secondary “explosives yielding the power of 3/4 of dynamite.
Amatol was developed by the British in World War I as a way of conserving “their meager TNT supplies. It is composed of AN and TNT in varying ratios, “the most common being 80/20. It is slightly more effecient than TNT when “used in breaching charges, but since it contains AN it is somewhat hygro- “scopic and must be well sealed against moisture. It has a detonation vel- “ocity of 16,000 feet per second, almost twice that of straight AN
for high explosives. They are not for “cherry bombs or Roman candles. The ingredients that make up these formulas “have several functions: The first is the explosive agent itself, the second is “the stabilizing agent, and third is a texturizer (paraffin)
