i have heard reports of people lighting thermite with symple matches. but they must have used VERY fine ingrediants. i lit mine with Mg. in case anyone is wondering, i made about about a half dollar size pile of thermite on the asphalt of a barren road. got real hot, melted the stuff really nicely.

any thing REALLY hot. try wind and waterproof matches, that have the poweder along two thirds of them. otherwise, sparklers are usually fine. but as said, the friner the ingredients, the faster the lighting and the burn rate.

Would the "striker/starter" component of road flares be effective in igniting thermite? Can't think of anything else to call it, but it's that brownish glob of material used to start the flare burning. Anyone know the chemical makeup of this substance?

A fine mixture of chlorate and sugar can be used to light it, although confinement is not a good idea. I have read that it can be ignited with an aluminum powder and sulphur mixture, although I don't know how effective that would be. Sparklers should be okay to ignite it too if you don't have anything better, though.

God, why don't you just try using a sparkler to see if it would work instead of starting a topic about it?

Few (5-10) sparklers should do it right ?
That would be more certain, and of course a sparkler can ignite sparkler.

Could you set a primary like a smoke bomb or something? That seems hot enough.

I think he means a starter mix like sugar/chlorate.

No I didn't mean a primary explosive. I mean a primary ignitor. Something that would get hot enough to light the thermite. I know that smoke bombs aren't primary exploive, they're barely explosive. What I'm asking if you could use a formula like Potassium Nitrate and sugar or a clorate and sugar to ingite the thermite.

Yes, chlorate/sugar will burn hot enough to ignite thermite. Don't know about KNO3/sugar, but it probably will.

Grouping sparklers together makes them flash by in a very short amount of time, there may not be enough heat on it long enough to ignite the mix.

God-another sure-fire igniter for thermite (even the courser mixes) are the strobes you can find around the 4th. of July.
