yeah, it's legal to talk about making explosives. It's technically legal to talk about making anything, even a nuclear bomb. It's usually illegal to ACT on the knowledge that you gained, however. Thermite is probably another story though, because it's not really an explosive. It's just something that burns hotter'n hell

The characteristics of the mixture you're talking about sound more like pooh-gas than napalm, which I've always heard described as gelled gasoline.

Hmm. i don't think so. I'm pretty sure that every recipe for napalm I've ever read has been half gas, half oil. That's how I make it (I add styrofoam when I'm pouring it down gopher holes to make it even thicker so it won't sink into the ground). I know some 'nam vets though, and I'll ask them - - -I've frankly never heard of pooh gas, and a quick GIS only returns methane-oriented chemicals
And you're right. Thermite scares the crap outa me. I made some in my childhood pyro days just to try it out. Lit just a TINY little bit of it and watched it destroy the $500 Craftsman tool chest that my dad had just gotten for christmas. Yeah. Took a long time for him to get over that one.
