31 u/Mobile-Ostrich7614 3d ago It doesn’t matter the type of drain cleaner I believe it just needs hydrochloric acid in it. Edit: muriatic acid (pool acid) is 30% hydrochloric acid. 16 u/-MtnsAreCalling- 3d ago Sodium hydroxide (e.g. Drano) works even better than acids. 5 u/Mobile-Ostrich7614 3d ago That’s probably what it is then maybe I had it wrong 16 u/Humble_Survey_757 3d ago No definitely was The Works. I've made hundreds of them but they did change the formula so it doesn't work. We used to call em Works bombs. But yeah now you just look for anything with muriatic acid 30% or more 3 u/Jolly_Me_Roger 3d ago had to do 100 hours community service for making these... D: tbf it was weeks after 9-11 1 u/HomeFade 3d ago Was always Drano around here
