recent thermite edit reversion A couple of minutes ago i edited the section of ignition of the thermite page it needs to be noted that a small fire WILL ignite thermite randomly and without any warning a while ago that happened to me and i remember looking it up on Wikipedia and assuming that a small fire fell under conventional ignition i don t just tell you this for the safety of all of us dumb idiots but also for the leg hairs that were lost sniff in all seriousness though i do think that needs to be noted with regards to the ignition
