It's actually better just to hit PREVIEW after you've done Spellcheck to see what your message will look like before it's posted. But afterward, when you look at your post you have the option to Reply with quote  or Modify message (upper right side.)

fill in the blank       --------------------- is an explosive in which dynamite is coated with a water repelllent in order to slow the penetration of water

[boxman55]

TNT, or trinitrotoluene, is the most important military explosive. TNT was discovered in 1863 as a dye agent. It was not used as an explosive until 1904. It became popular as a military explosive during World War I and it became the standard military explosive by World War II. The power of other explosives is frequently expressed as an equivalent amount of TNT. It can be cast easily by melting the material and then it can be poured into shells. It is very stable and can be stored for long periods. It is extremely moisture resistant and is not likely to be detonated by physical shock.
Is the answer TNT???   Boxman

[twirl]

not the answer I had in mind 

[twirl]

hit the wrong key



hint: Tovex is one     might be spelled Tovek

[okarol]

Chemists and engineers have formulated a series of water gel-base products that replaced TNT. Water gel explosives have several advantages over traditional dynamite. These explosives are a aqueous solution of ammonium nitrate and methyl ammonium nitrate. Often incendiary devices require thickening for increased performance. Aluminium salts of fatty acids are frequently used as a coating. Talcum powder is also sometimes used.

in the beginning of this cancelled television show ( 30 minutes series) while the song is playing a Kracken appears (myth)
now it comes on about 10 times a day (reruns)
Name that series

[boxman55]

Don't know the answer but I was curious as to whar a Kracken was...Boxman

Probably no legendary creature was as horrifying as the Kraken, a giant sea monster. According to stories this huge, many armed, creature looked like an island when motionless and could reach as high as the top of a sailing ship's main mast with its arms deployed. 

When the Kraken attacked a ship, it wrapped its arms around the hull and capsize it. The crew would drown or be eaten by the monster. Kraken were mostly noticed  in the seas of Scandinavia. Fishermen said that huge amounts of fishs gravitate around Kraken and the boat that succeeds to fish around the monster without awaking it will take more than possible to carry aboard.

[okarol]

A guess... Hot Metal?
