but by no way worth the effort.
Buy a flask, a Liebig-condensor and a aquarium waterpump. Also Escobar had to make some investments before taking over the Medellin-cartel.
Basically: You need a Dremel diamond cutter or forget it. Wrap tube with PVC tape and cut tube on both ends. Have more tubes by hand it won´t work first time. Wash and brush the white stuff out, use gloves. The stuff isn´t healthy but no deadly poison, the mercury content is miniscuous. Wrap ends thick with teflon tape and remember not to push the tube inside something or it will break. For the waterjacket any plastictube may be used - the space between inner and outer tubeshouldn´t be to big, 2 to 5 mm is ok. Use silicon sealant on the ends and glue in waterin and outlet. This is to be run on a aquarium waterpump not on a full power open faucet! (No lab-condensor is to be run this way).
- The quite fragile ends can be reinforced by a cement/waterglass mix this way a kinsd of conus can be formed and wrapped with teflon tape connected to standard glassware.
But again: It not worth the effort, by no way. It is neither easy nor cheap in the end.
I had invested already to much time - and ego - so I had to finish it. Don´t do it if you arn´t a genius in craftmansship or willing to suffer.
