Errors I cannot afford. Error 1, Does Size or shape effect blast? Error 2, Is it possible to use Powder Permanagate? What kind of a solution is thesible? Error 3, Do you throw it capped or uncapped? What makes it ignite, is it friction, or chemical reaction? This is very very vague and there are room for alot of errors. Errors I cannot afford.

And as far as size, I have a military Tobasco "shot" glass, about 1/8oz. I'm using it to test (as I don't have much of a testing ground) will that be smaller then a 1/2 stick. I need to know.
