    For all of you who were wondering, DOT 4 brake fluid + clorox does not smoke, catch on fire, or do anything else remotely interesting. What a bummer.

    Try some pool chlorine and fertilizer mixed loosely into a 5 gal pail. Do not combine until out side away from trees and flammable shrubbery. Stir well until you notice it to start to bubble and then step back quickly (up wind too.) This will smoke well. "For as long as I can remember, I have had memories. Colin Mochrie."

        - It does a fine job of cleaning weathered plywood. - Animals will not drink it no matter what what one tries.

          There are better uses for pool shock. Calcium hypoclorite + sutff + magic -> sodium clorate. Sodium clorate + stuff = BANG.

              No bang if stirred loosely. Just a big roman candle. It also keeps fire ants away. :-D "For as long as I can remember, I have had memories. Colin Mochrie."

                            I suspect that 20 years ago Scott's used ammonium nitrate like everyone else. Since the OK City bombing that's been awfully hard to get, now that the whole world knows that's what you use to make safety dynamite. Of course, I still have about 20 lbs of it I found in Mom's garage... Nothing better for a green lawn than a good double nitrate like that! Makes the whole yard as green as the spots above the septic tank.:-D

                                        Try some pool chlorine and fertilizer mixed loosely into a 5 gal pail. Do not combine until out side away from trees and flammable shrubbery. Stir well until you notice it to start to bubble and then step back quickly (up wind too.) This will smoke well. "For as long as I can remember, I have had memories. Colin Mochrie."

That was the last time my dad left me alone to put chlorine in our pool. He also put a lock on the pool chemicals cabinet after that incident.
