Composition #1
The mixture is most succesfull when prepared by melting the sugar
and potassium nitrate together on low heat, but this requires good
stirring, and there is a risk of accidential ignition. The molten
mixture can be poured in cardboard containers and a fuse insterted
while the mixture solidifies.

Smoke Composition #2
The mixture is difficult to ignite. Hexachloroethane is poisonous,
and can be replaced by 72 parts PVC. This, however, makes the mixture
yet harder to ignite. The zinc oxide can be replaced by titanium dioxide
(2 parts ZnO replaced by 1 part TiO2). The smoke is slightly irritating
and not suitable for indoor use.
