Make nitrocellulose lacquer

Make nitrocellulose lacquer

Check out this video tutorial on how to make nitrocellulose lacquer. Nitrocellulose is a highly flammable material made by treating cellulose with concentrated nitric acid, used for explosives. The lacquer is the spreadable liquid made by dissolving ping pong balls in acetone. To make this nitrocellulose lacquer, good for most fireworks or other pyrotechnic needs, you'll need ping pong balls, an airtight glass container, scissors, 100% acetone, measuring spoons, and a razor.
