You will need a large vat and several pounds of cotton wool. Fill the vat
with one part nitric acid to three parts sulphuric acid; when fully mixed,
add the cotton wool. Leave for 24 hours.
Remove the cotton wool from the acids and place in a bath of water; then
wash thoroughly in running water. Now dry it thoroughly- an unventilated
steel shed is ideal for this. When it is thoroughly dry, have your least
favourite child pack the cotton wool into the wasp nest hole and then
apply a naked flame at arms length.

DO NOT EVEN JOKE ABOUT MAKING NITROGLYCERINE.

THE MIXING PROCESS OF THE ACIDS ITSELF IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS IF
THE TEMPERATURE RISES.

DO *NOT*, I REPEAT *NOT* FOLLOW THIS GUIDANCE.

IN ANY CASE, YOU WILL BE COMMITTING A SERIOUS CRIMINAL
OFFENCE IF YOU ATTEMPT ANY OF THE ABOVE.
