noelf2, you beat me to it. I did do some research and was about to post the Foxfire reference.
But, note, the use of urine for
making bp was
stale urine. It was added for its nitrogen value and to keep the mixture moist while working. (that must have smelled great. :barf: )
Peeing on already made black powder has yet to surface as a beneficial thing to do.
On the muzzle loading/black powder/history forum I asked about this, one member suggested peeing on Pyrodex would be an appropriate form of expression.
He said it, I didn't. I might be thinking it, but I didn't say it.
