I have not had any luck using I2 made from 7% tincture.

I use 1 pint 7%, 3 pt of H2o2, 1 cup hcl, 2 cups dh2o, and about 2 cups bleach. Am I using to much bleach. the more bleach I add the more crystals I get ansd just rinse them really well.

I eye balled the I2 crystals in my dream and may not have used enough (1gm per gm E when I usually use 2). Never got a good color after filtering, looked dirty. The product in my dream sucked when usually my dreams come out really well. Has anyone had a similar problem and any suggestions.

All help is appreciated.

You say the more bleach you add, the more crystals you get, so keep adding bleach!!
You would be better off using pool chlorine, its much stronger than household bleach and maybe this is why you have had to add more bleach than expected. Its available at any pool chem house, very cheap!

Get a pyrex dish. Put the washed I2 on it. Put a smaller dish on top, covering the crystals, put some tissue and some ice on top of that dish and heat gently. Cool down and scrape u pure resublimed I2 off the top dish.

Thanks, but when you resub the crystals how do you scarp them off. if you were to use a razor blade don't they start to melt?

I've st crystals out on a mirror before and they started melting when I scapped them up. You sure this works and how much do you lose?

Thanks for the help.

I never knew I2 to be so hygroscopic. Tincture expensive anyway. Try heating NaI or KI2 with MnO2 and h2SO4 in a beaker and catching the crystals on the botton of a flask filled with icewater. STD lab prep from any 1950's text.

Thanks and please forgive my ignorance to chemistry. I can look them up but if you can tell me what those chemicals names are I'd appreciate it. Also, are they easily obtainable without question?

Thanks again.

Just leave out until all the alcohol evaperates then heat in a vision sauce pan with the lid turned up side down put ice in upturned lid . The crystals will form on the lid. allow to dry and scrap off. You will have silver metal looking crystals. you can sublime if you like.

H2SO4 = sulfuric acid
NaI = sodium iodide
KI = potassium iodide

I just use a 5mL plastic spoon to scrape the crystals off. You dont lose anything unless you heat it too much and the I2 vapour comes out the sides.

HEARS YOUR 7% TINTURE CURE!SAY YOU HAVE A QUART JAR.WITH 25%TINTURE.ADD 70%HYDROGEN PEROXIDE!THEN ADD 3TO4%SULFURIC ACID. WAIT 45MIN TO 1HOUR. A BEAUTIFUL REACTIONS OCCURS WHILE YOU WATCH THE CRYSTALS STRUCTURE .STRAIN USING UNBLEACHED FILTER.AND YOU NEVER TRY COOKING IT DOWN AGAIN.IF YOU DONT HAVE SULFURIC ,REGULAR HARDSTORE MUR-HYDRO WILL DO THE TRICK JUST A LITTLE SLOWER.LET DRY.GUARANTEED!

Not me has, dreamt the Hcl,H202,chlorine added to tincture and the i2 falls out of solution immediatly not 1 hour. Piss easy to do then just filter and sublimate for cleanliness.

A regular everyday old paper business card works great for scaping them. But once they're re-sublimed and dry, it's not a problem, anyway.
