Genius Update 2-12-16

My project is to propel a rocket with plasma. On Wednesday, I mixed ground potassium nitrate (KNO3), ground sulfur (S), and ground charcoal. This makes gunpowder. Today, I tried to turn the powder into a paste. I tried using water. The water thickened the powder but didn't transform it into a paste. Next Wednesday, I will try to use acetone, nail polish remover.
