Howdy Mate!
Ibee thinks Stoni posted the merck info for this a while back which helped superassman come to the conclusion that acetaminophen is soluable in acetone. All bees know that pfed and meth are not.
Check out some of the other solubility characteristics.
Why not start with removing all traces of the pain reliever and then you'll bee left with a pill mass to apply VideoEditors S2E method.
Just a suggestion that makes sense-a-million to The Kidz!
