i think headcase is on holiday D:

Mod Edit; music festival...

or hes just given up on us hopless losers

but what do you guys think of the 4.5 of 30% H2O2, 3 of 99% C3H6O, and 1 32.5% HCl?

i tried this, and even with excess catalyst, it gives good yields if cooled. i neutralized it with baking soda. the first batch i did using all those ratios, and it gave a good yield. i scaled the next one up to... i think it was 12 acetone 3HCl and 13.5 H2O2. it floated, whereas the other one sank. it got me slightly worried, and when it was dry, it ignited from a flame... say 3 cm away. spooky D: mind you, i didnt cool this one. this batch made me nearly lose my thumb, as the fuse failed, and i had no time to run, and my nail came off, and my thumb swell up and had some blood under the skin D: well, nearly lost my thumb was over done. lucky i was wearing sunglasses xD

be careful with AP.
