[NRVR-Members] Members Meeting on Making your own HP igniters and ematches, Nov 18th, 5:30pm-8pm

[Thomas Weeks]

BTW.. Bat is going to help show how to make various types of 
igniters/ematches. I'm planning on bringing my pyrogen mixture, some nichrome 
chips (heads), wire and a gas soldering iron.

Anyone else bringing anything?

Bob.. can you bring that silicone mixture you make and talk about that?
