What could go wrong with experimenting with rocket fuel

I was going to work with an alkaline rocket fuel along with a combustible fuel under neath to intensify the affect. What are some safety precautions? What environment should I do it in?

Fires and explosions.

> What environment should I do it in?
Caltech had a sort of concrete bunker for the small stuff from chemistry labs on campus.
... and then of course when fooling with larger stuff, there was JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) which was built in the middle of nowhere (a city eventually grew up around it... imagine that).

Thats what could go wrong.

Im no rocket fuel expert by any means but if I were to do experiments at home I would not allow any source of heat (soldering iron, heat gun, etc). I would wear a static discharge bracelet at all times, every surface should be grounded that you work on. I would be mindful of the lights that I use and if a particular color causes the fuel to oxidize in an undesirable way. Thats all I can think of but I know there is more.

Errr - DON'T! STOP RIGHT NOW! You could blow yourself up! Moreover, you may well discover that what you are thinking of doing is illegal. Do you really fancy losing a leg, an arm, being blinded - or ending up in jail?
Take my advice - do not fool around with dangerous chemicals and explosive mixtures unless you are a fully-trained and experienced chemist - and even they have accidents: check out the history of Nobel, the inventor of dynamite.

OH BROTHER!

I experimented with salt peter and charcoal dust-almost burnt my fathers house down.

Then it was zinc and something and anyway I set a weed field on fire and burnt my leg with
an experimental rocket!

GET SUPERVISION-THE ADULT KIND-THERE ARE CLUBS-GO FOR IT.
