According to The Condensed Chemical Dictionary napalm is the aluminum soap of a mixture of oleic, naphthenic and coconut fatty acids. It is a granular powder which, when mixed with gasoline, forms a sticky gel that is stable from -40 to 100 deg C. I'm not going to disclose the ratios used or the preparation techniques; both are critical in making this stuff. This is nothing to fool around with!
