Can it not be used when making napalm?

The potassium permanganate would be better for a dryer type of explosive i think... or you could purify water with it if you'd prefer...

How much copper suplhate do you have? I might be interested in it for weed killing purposes around ground pipes etc. I read a bit about its uses as a herbicide/fungicide on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper%28II%29_sulfate
