How can I make nitroglycerin at home? How do you plasticize the substance?

I have heard that it is done by mixing glycerin and nitric acid.

Answer:
"Mixing" is not a good word when talking about Nitro Glycerin. The temperature has to be just right. The ingredients are combined by placing a stirring rod into the glass container, and letting them slide together. One false motion, and you'll see God real quick. Sometimes I hear of people mixing it with saw dust to stablize it, but I do not know about this. I recommend to find something else to make. Something legal, also. And you are missing an ingredient in your question. I will not share that info.
