I have about 85cm (33.5") of 3mm-wide magnesium strip.

What should I do with it?

1. Make Thermite?

2. I'll need powdered aluminum for that,

and I don't have a metal shop (or any kind of workspace.) It's hardly enough even to make the kind of thermite electricians use to weld grounding cables to I-beams. And that kind also requires powdered copper to facilitate a good grounding contact

8. I've done a lot of cadwelding

Fun stuff

3. Absolutely nothing...

...other than the obvious. But please take extreme care.

4. The problem is I really don't have any good place to burn it.

I suppose I could put it back in the drawer where it had been for the last 30+ years and forget about it, again...

5. I'm thinking now I could use one of my plantless pots of dirt

and set up my camera and tripod for photos. I have a #16 neutral-density filter, though I'm not sure if that's dark enough. Of course, if I do it at night, it would make for an interesting light-source...

6. Warning: burning Mg produces UV light -- eye protection needed. nt

7. Yeah, I never look at it.

Might as well look at the sun, it's so bright.

9. Anchor it to the inside of your toilet tank

It will serve as an anode and keep the rest of the metal in your toilet from corroding.

10. Good idea!

I think I'll do that. My pyro-for-fun days are long over
