On the topic of interesting Amazon recommendations, if you shop for aluminum oxide, Amazon will helpfully bundle iron oxide and magnesium ribbon behind a single button for you. Go a bit further down and they will even sell you cardboard tubes to put the resulting mixture into.

- hotpotamus 4y agoMy childhood would have been a lot more convenient if Amazon was around back then. I remember having to explain to adults at stores why I wanted stuff and not having a good answer. In fact, I remember trying to buy mercury chloride to demo the halloween clock reaction and they wouldn't sell it to me, which probably worked out well because I don't think I really wanted to properly dispose of the mercury when complete.

A mixture of powdered aluminum oxide and iron oxide is about as inert a mixture as you can make. It will reliably snuff out burning magnesium ribbon.
