    Bombing is done with hydrogen peroxide and cyanide (can't off hand
    remember if it is potassium or sodium cyanide eggs), it is literally
    an explosive exothermic reaction and should only be done by carefully
    trained people wearing protective clothing and under a fume hood.
    There are probably more precautions that should be taken as well,
    and local environmental restrictions may apply. I sometimes wonder
    about the current health of the kid who was doing the bombing at the
    factory in Pawtucket that I worked for in the early 1970's.
