Handy stuff to have on hand 😊
I do have a tub on hand I purchased from Firefox some 25 years ago, and whilst
I also have plenty of NA also on hand, N2O4 isn’t high on my list of curiosity
experiments 😊
Re my last reply: there was most likely a reactive metal incorporated into the
“paint” with the catalyst.

Interesting, I used to use it to make N2O4 from 68% nitric acid.

Could’ve been. Manganese Dioxide is a known catalyst for HTP IIRC. With a
reactive metal in the fuel like Al, it wouldn’t surprise be for the exothermic
decomposition to provide enough energy to activate a reaction with the reactive
metal.
