heavy metal

[deadman]

Someone, Osmium i think, recently suggested that the use of japan drier is possibly not wise because of the heavy metal(HM) content.

 We are washing our pills and discarding the jap drier. Are the HM's hanging around, adhering to elements of the pill mass or something?

Are the HM's in suspension or solution in the jap drier?

The heavy metals are easiy removed with several acetone washes following the evap and scraping UP of the xtal.
While submerged in acetone, the xtals need to be chopped broken UP to expose all xtal lattice to the tone.

The greater danger with JD is probably in continued exporsure to the stuff in using it. Even the label states that it is "not intended for frequent use." Gloves and respirator are in order, but may not be 100% effective.
