10/10! works great for; thermite, catalyst, and as a blue coloring agent in stars. As for usual, it came super quickly and well packaged. It’s also worth noting that this copper oxide is an exceptional paint pigment.

Came fast, well packed and labeled! ^^Agreed this is great for thermite mixtures but I will warn you a finer product makes for a quicker reaction. Know what your doing before you do it. Copper thermite in the right circumstances can be explosive. I made my own copper oxide and this product reacts much quicker. Be careful!!
