CAUTION: Barium chlorate is capable
of spontaneous decomposition, and compositions containing it should be
handled with extreme caution. Beginners are encouraged to avoid such compositions.

Thermite compositions
CAUTION:
Red thermit is very sensitive to friction and flame. While it is not
a highly energetic composition, it burns extremely hot and severe burns
can result from improper handling.
DANGER:
Thermit mixtures can burn with temperatures exceeding 3000oC.
If water contacts a thermit fire, a steam explosion will result. Thermit
fires generate temendous amounts of ulvtraviolet light which may cause
severe eye damage.

Friction ignition mixtures
DANGER: Friction ignition mixtures
are sensitive to mechanical action. Ignition will result if the two compositions
are rubbed against each other.
