75 percent potassium nitrate, 15 percent charcoal, and 10 percent sulfur. Hey there Ain't no baking soda in gunpowder.

It isn't real important, the water is just used as a medium to get the soda where you want it as it will evaporate quickly. Just add water until it is a consistency you feel will apply easily.

Yep, not too important. The water is just used as a medium to make the baking soda stick to the stove. I used about 1/2 gal water to a 3lb box of baking soda.
