Part 1
With 10 boxes(30 per box) of name brand 60mg pseudoephedrine hydrochloride whole tablets in a 600ml plastic bottle was added methylated spirits till full and shaken for 3 or 4 seconds while tablets dissolved, then left to settle for 1 1/2hrs then filtered through 3 coffee filters into clean beaker. Plastic bottle was again filled with metho again, but only to 2/3 full this time and filtered then once more to 1/2 full leaving for 20 - 30mins after a quick shake each time. With all filtered metho in one beaker still a little murky it was again filtered through 3 more clean filters coming through crystal clear then poured into a pyrex dish and evaporated until it started to thicken, maybe 125ml in pyrex dish.
At this stage i was getting a little lazy so instead of a/b extraction i decided to do Geez's pseudo precipitation technique using a microwave. So to 125ml of pseudo laden metho which had a slight yellow tinge to it was added approx 800ml of xylene, then zapped for 30seconds at a time until metho had completly evaporated and pseudo had formed itself in bottom of 1 litre pyrex jug. Fuckin like magic, totally awesome.So after a little jig in the kitchen with a grin like a cheshire cat saying to the missus "who's ya daddy" i proceeded to filter xylene through 1 coffee filter collecting just like Geez mentions pearlescant crystals.These were left to drain for 1/2 hour while i got my pecker sucked, then spread out on a piece of A4 paper to dry a little quicker. Once completly dry, about 2hrs they were weighed and come in at 14.6gms of 18 available grams of pseudo, this being only one filter from xylene, i would guess that there was maybe a couple of grams of pseudo and other bits of shit floating in xylene that was quite yellow to look at which had passed through first filter. Cheers Geez, i think that thread was under rated as only a good idea mate. I think it's fucken outstanding.
