Where can I find the stuff to make ballistic gelatin?

i suppose for a small amount you can just get Knox gelatin in the packets at the grocery store. it's in the jello section. i was thinking about making some and molding it in a 5x9 aluminum bread pan sprayed with nonstick spray.

Grocery Store or Online.

You need bulk unflavored standard gelatin. And a heck of a lot of it.

Most gelatin recipes call for between 10%-20% gelatin mix.

It is not actually the same gelatin sold at the grocery stores, you need to purchase Type 250a Ordnance Gelatin. Contact [email protected]
