lol "propanol.. the cunt" haha
the only DCM I've seen is paint stripper, but it's mixed with other stuff to make it a thick liquid
where do u get it?? isn't tetra better? hehe.
That's right, it's yellow tin paint stripper.
Very easy to distill, look in the chemicals and equip forum.
But don't distill it out of the can, find an erlenmier shaped ceramic vessel, grab some teflon tape while your at it, you'll find it so useful for making air tight seals. for tube-to-hole and also for threads of screw on lids..all sorts of stuff, real cheap too. A ten pak of rolls is on special at the moment for 4.50 and bunnniez!
copper tubing sektion man!
recycle DCM, and acetone, there's no excuse for not doing it really. Ice + a one hole stopper + appropriate tubing + a ceramic flask to fit the stopper + a bucket for ice +teflon tape == ghetto solvent distillation/recycler == rarely need to ever re-stock.
The thin HDPE + teflon tape works great and no need to drill a larger hole in a store bought stopper. you can have 500ml of DCM in a lazy evening no worries.
Tetra is much stronger yep! But DCM is still a killa, and it has many solvent uses.
suss: no worries, thanks for the MEK info, it sounds like a killer!
Besides, a MEK boil before an extraction is probably a nice pre cleaning stepHell yeah! with all the plastics and glues etc.
With the laquer thinner, it's a good slow recrystallisation solvent for fb because the MEK actually slows down the evaporation rate, well the combination seems to.
yeah swim couldnt find the acrylic finner, so he got the LT.
i think your right its the acrylic thinner that has toluene and a bit of xylene and something else i think.
