I'm going to try making some of this as soon as I get my hands on some CuSO4 (shouldn't be too hard.) Is there an alternate to bubbling NH3 gas throught it? Maybe dissolving it in NH4OH and refluxing for a while? Has anyone tried to make this stuff before? I don't have sodium perchlorate but the potassium salt (I know sodium is preferred because of its superior solubility, right?)..
That's all.. Please tell me anything you can.

I thought TAC was a low explosive similar in properties to mercury fulminate.
What is the problem with bubbling ammonia through it ? All you have to do is get a sealed flask or jar with a tube coming out of it and heat some ammonia water. The NH3 should be driven off by this heat.
