I have the same experience - but it is not only about saltpeter (KNO3). The team of Mrs.Michetschläger found more chemicals (KNO2, Ammonium nitrate, Calcium nitrate, Potassium nitrate,...)  and some organic material.

In Koen´s primer is yellow colour and something another which turned wood to cinnamon tinge after UV tanning.
