The thermite and the C4 are activated at the same time.. the thermite ignites 15 to 30 seconds before the C4 which is easy to do with timed fuse.

The thermite begins to burn in the sugar very well, then the C4 blast throws it all in the air into a cloud.... in one out of three tries this will just scatter everything and not make a fuel air explosion... the other 2/3 is pretty grand indeed.

Ahhh, the Improvised Explosives Manual returns!!!!

Another trick was to emplace a 55-gallon drum filled with a diesel/oil mixture on top of a C4 block and either have it command detonated, or a pull/release trigger, you get a nice coverage over your kill zone...
