Default Mixing Your Own Glow Fuel - Homemade

hi
i would appreciate if someone here knows how to and/or mixes their own fuel. i dont have a slightly clue on where to begin. and to be honest i d rather buy my fuel from the local hobby store then to mix my own. i m not writing this thread to find a cheap way to run my rc truck but for the reaons that i dont have a LHS where i m based at the moment within 1000miles and importing fuel is out of the question(too costly). so far this is all i could find out and i hope experienced fuel mixers could guide me to the right direction.

ingredients that i need:
nitromethane - chemical name - CH3NO2
castor oil - chemical name - C11H10O10
methanol - chemical name - CH3OH

to make 25% glow fuel I would mix
Nitromethane - 25%
Castor Oil - 25%
Methanol - 50%

Is there anythin else that needs to mixed, any precautions i may need to take, any help would be appreciated. literally anythin.

Note: I intend to use this fuel with a Savage K4.6 Engine. Currently i m using tornado 25% glow fuel which will run out pretty soon. i need help ppl
