I do recall the residue was pretty corrosive and also that it smelled of phosphorous. Despite a lot of later experimentation with things a lot more powerful than caps, I got through childhood and adolescence with all my fingers and both eyebrows. But I wouldn't ever repeat some of what I did then, today.

You got that right and have to bite my tongue when relating old stories to my grandson, like making rocket engines out of match heads. Or how to make a match gun out of a clothes pin and one of my favorites the "Cap" grenade. Of course we will never talk about the zip guns. I too have all my fingers although they are pretty scared up. ......
Be Safe !!!
