A friend, of a friend, related this dream, as told to her mother, by a stray dog.
The pooch stated that she/he(the dog had been neutered, and was not sure which sex it was, although it had a shlong, it squatted to pee) Anyway it saw one of it's many former masters, mix together:
SETUP
-----
20 gm pseudo/ephedrine,
24 gm Iodine,
12 gm Red Phos
3 gm water
In a 1000 ml flask, fitted with
10 feet of braided 5/8 inch OD hose,
placed in a sand bath at 100 F - 105 F.
The hose was run from the flask upward for four feet then horizontally three feet, ending up curving upon itself in a loop, the way that type of tubing tends to curve. The end of the tube was near a vented fan.
PROGRESS
---------
Initially- The mixture was heated until a light white smoke appeared, mixed well and placed in the sand bath, It was remixed intermittently
12 hours - mixture was less viscous(more watery), the surface of the solution was lumpy. When mixed ,1 mm particles of Iodine,pseudo/ephedrine,R would adhere to the glass.
18 hours - mixture less thick, the surface was smoother. When mixed .26 mm particles adhered to the sides of the flask.
24 hours - mixture was notably less viscous, surface was smooth. When mixed, small Red Phos particles adhered to the glass.
30 hours - less thick, smooth surface , color was the same red as always. White crystals had formed in the flask neck and the first few inches of tubing, these were shaken down into the solution. The tubing was stained red along all but the last foot . About 4 ml of a clear fluid formed in the loop and was drained back into the flask. When mixed, the contents drained down the sides of the flask , leaving a thin reddish film, containing almost microscopic particles.
Estimated to be 80%- 90% complete by fast reaction standards.
The temptation to retrieve a sample was, ignored, in favor of waiting until a color change was observed.
36 hours - viscosity like a runny syrup. Flows easily off the glass surface.
Color changed to a darker , dull red-purple.
An aliquot was removed, processed,
ABSOLUTE WAS RIGHT, A MELTING POINT IS NEEDED, What would I give for a 16 inch, 250 C thermometer right now.
The bio-assay - just put a little bit in a pipe and WwoOowW , it has got some zing, zip, definitely a level above my usual bug juice. Not devastating, yet quite powerful. Almost Scary. I will not go back to the 1 hour blaster method, This is "mo' betta, fer shure".
This is not the end
