nasty doesn't cover thermite placed on the hood of a car it will melt through the engine and then the axel.

BTW even with pure iron oxide and aluminum powder it is still very hard to get the mix right. a chemistry teacher and i tried to make it once so we could do the experiment for class but even with a chemical balanced equation and porper molar amounts and a strip of magnesium it wouldn't light.

so good luck and be carefull
