MBRP is a pain in the ass to deal with; Swig has done different things like acetone, which I wrote up about. (By the way I never said that acetone mixes with water). Acetone is a bitch to deal with, what you end up with is a big headache, and really fucking broke. The following is exactly how swig does it:
12 50 book packages are collected. Swig then tears off the paper back of one pack at a time, which takes about 15 min for each package, although can be done faster with other people. Then before going to another case, swig nicely cuts just the red strip off with scissors. You don’t have to do it this way, you can do it all at once for each part, I just do it this way because the change of things keeps swig from getting too bored. Also try to watch a movie when you are doing this, goes by faster. Also make sure you don’t have a lot of paper left off the red strips, it will absorb all the solvent.
Now the strips are put in a standard Pyrex tray. I put 50 strips at one time. Then cover with IPA, for 5-10 min. Swig then uses his finger to remove the red. This is done twice (2 packs) before dumping the fluid and MPRP in a 150mL beaker that I will deal with later. I was able to do this with only one bottle of IPA. After the first six packs are done, I warm, and scrap the shit and dirty red. Don’t worry, this looks like shit, but she will hold her head up again. Once the 12 packs or done, take a razor blade and just go at it for a while trying to make the red into many particles. Then you will need to put this in a flask with HCl. You could let it sit for 2 hours, I let mine sit for about 4 days, I like the pure shit. Now do this with some diluted H2SO4, sit for a day or so,(at least that is what I do). Rinse with water. You will notice that the fluid is easily decanted off without taking the Red P. with it. Do this until the water is clear. Does acetone wash, followed by much D-H2O, and now you got the good shit.
