According to a receipt and several email exchanges buried within the millions of files released on January 30, Epstein had six 55-gallon drums of the chemical delivered to Little St. James (LSJ).
I seem to recall from my childhood, back when kids made stuff go boom and nobody was afraid of terrorism yet, that sulfuric acid can be used to make nitroglycerine.
I can’t recall whether we had ntric acid, but we definitely had hydrochloric acid and glycerine. I guess a recipe is a nice touch too… We had it all. Don’t anymore, am responsibly adulting now. But I can tell you that sulfuric acid makes an orange cloud when poured on chicken shit, and that your mom isn’t pleased when said cloud moves through the drying laundry. Still, far from the craziest thing I did before puberty.

Sulfurous is not a lovely smell. I would also not be pleased.
I’m pretty confident about the nitric acid. It’s not called nitroglycerine for nothing. I seem to remember my chemistry teacher saying that nitric acid and something else make a nitrating mixture, and when you do that to glycerine you get nitroglycerine.
I flunked chemistry, though, so don’t set great store by what I remember!

You’d need Nitric acid too, iirc.
