2 ounces of sodium nitrate (Get from your druggist)
1/2 ounce of sodium nitrate (Get from your druggist
Shouldn't one of them be sodium nitrite not both nitrate? I believe it should be 2 ounces of sodium nitrite and and 1/2 ounce of nitrate. Correct me if I'm wrong. According to the way you have it written you are using 2 1/2 ounces of the same chemical compound.
