Wud?
I know reading all these stuff are very boring.
So I think I'll make some videos on it!
In the mean time, just read all of the text and be patient!

Potassium Chlorate (KClO3)
KClO3 is a strong oxidizer and should not be left in a pile with mixtures of common items in it.
So, it's a strong oxidizer and used to replace less powerful Potassium Nitrate in gunpowder compositions.
Get a couple of match box with full of match inside.
Then soak them in some water, not too much, not too little, but just enough water to soak the match heads.
After a couple of hours, take out the matches and scrape it into the water that you soaked in the matches with a penknife or scissors.
Pour the mess into a bottle and start shaking it hard, allowing the KClO3 to dissolve more in the water.
After shaking for 10 minutes, pour out all the mess into a beaker and filter it.
Pour the red solution into a pot or beaker to fully evaporate it.
It might take DAAYSS...
DO NOT LEAVE THE MIXTURE IN HOT SUN
I THINK IT WILL DECOMPOSE, I'VE DONE THAT BEFORE AND IT WAS USELESS.
So, on your heater on medium and wait for it to evaporate and making the mixture saturated.
After some time, you can see small crystals on top on the mixture.
Now, quickly OFF your burner or heater and cool it down.
Leave it outside BUT NOT UNDER THE SUN to fully evaporate it.
It took about 5 days for me because I did not evaporate it.
Then, use a knife or any sharp thing to gently scrape it out.
The amount of the potassium chlorate may be small but it's still usable to demonstrate the oxidizing properties of Potassium Chlorate.
Recrystallizing may also help to increase the purity.
Remember, molten Potassium Chlorate is very sensitive to common materials and will spontanuously explode or set on fire if it is not pure or have other chemicals inside.
So, have fun and BE SAFE.

Nitrocellulose Lacquer
Nitrocellulose Lacquer is a liquid form protection for explosives.
It hardens when the solvent dries out.
It is mainly used for many wood ware to protect it from getting wet.
So, lets get down to making it.
So, get some high quality ping pong balls , some solvents and a small jar.
I recommend Acetone cause' its easy to buy and not very expensive.
Cut the pingpong balls into small peices, about 0.5cmX0.5cm and throw it into the small jar.
After you have done that, pour enough Acetone to totally cover up the pingpong ball bits.
Wait a few days and it will be completely melted by the solvent to form a liquidy thing.
So, grab a glass rod and scoop it out.
Go outside and burn it.
It should burn vigrously if the acetone completely burns out
And it will leave behind a burned dust mesh.
So, enjoy coating stuff with it!

Copper(II) Chloride
Get a few grams of Copper(II) Oxide and throw it into some concentrated Hydrochloric acid.
Or you could mix Hydrochloric acid with Copper metal which reacts VERRRY slowly.
Be sure that the copper is thin enough when reacting with Hydrochloric acid.
Two reactions however produces the same stuff, but you can still use it
By reacting Hydrochloric acid with Copper metal, you get CuCl2 and H2
But on some conditions,
I dont see ANY Hydrogen gas coming out?
I think i got [H]CuCl2.
For the Copper Oxide method, you can 100% get Copper(II) Chloride
CuO + 2HCl -> CuCl2 + H2O
I tried the Copper metal method
So, it's up to you to decide~~
