Apricot Kernal oil will release HCN if it is ingested and reacts with a certain enzyme present in the digestive system.
I agree with Organikum in regards to benzaldehyde being silently watched.
This is very much true in Australia.
Benzaldehyde is classed as a category 2 illicit drug precursor in australia, so one would have to fill out an EUD, unless one aquires it through an established account!
Unfortunately for swim, his favourite chem supplier controls the bitter almond puriss oil as well, so until he finds an alternative source, he will have to use his imagination.
IMO, i think the authorities know all about benzaldehyde and its potential, but are not letting on to create a false illusion for informed operators with a will to strive
The law is the law orgy, so as law abiding, tax paying citizens we must adhere to the law, as *best* we can!
PS. Whoever thinks 20l of benzaldehyde is a 'small' amount and therefore considers ordering 20l to be a 'small' risk is unfortunately horribly mistaken.
Disgression is our common key!
