Aluminum?** A: You would use Aluminium for the thermite. As for the ratio, use stoichiometry to determine the actual ratio. If you can't do that you probably shouldn't be trying to make explosive thermite. **Q: I need a copper supplement to balance a zinc supplement. can I use this to get i mg ?** A: NIX! This stuff is a LAB CHEMICAL, not a health supplement. Look it up! Copper is quite toxic to the body. Back ally medicine is not very wise. Do your homework. **Q: can i use this as a pigment for clay?** A: Mikey, Although I have no direct knowledge of this application, I am sure that copper oxide would color clay; however, there are other oxides, like black iron oxide, Fe3O4 that are somewhat less expensive. Both of the oxides will be stable in the wet environment associated with clay. Also, any paint color is stable in water and is specifically designed for this application i.e. coloring. If you are going to fire the clay after forming, there may be chemical changes that would result in a totally new color. **Q: How can I get copper oxide wire particles for animals?** A: Google it, but would be causious, too much copper is poison.
