No water?
Or iso or MEK. I guess you need the Pepsi solvent dispenser for those.
I’ll wait for the freestyle machine so I can order laquer thinner in my favorite flavor
“The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. And I knew we’d get into that rotten stuff pretty soon. Probably at the next gas station. We had sampled almost everything else, and now— yes, it was time for a long snort of ether. And then do the next hundred miles in a horrible, slobbering sort of spastic stupor. The only way to keep alert on ether is to do up a lot of amyls—not all at once, but steadily, just enough to maintain the focus at ninety miles an hour through Barstow.”

Mmm THF. In another life I had a sample I was preparing using THF as a solvent, and I didn’t know how these tiny black specks got into it. Took a moment to realize the THF had dissolved the adhesive that held the numbers and markings on the glass pipette I used to draw it from the bottle 😅
Oof, did you have to start over? What do you even put old thf in when you’re done with it
Yeah I had to start over or the synthesis would have been botched 😅
Also we had to dispose of the bottle the THF came in, since the pipette graduations were now floating around in there.
How did we dispose of it? Poured it all back into the bottle and labeled/kept it as waste.
Yeah this is why I always had a healthy fear of everything I was doing in chem class, I even missed an important lab day cause I was hungover and it was an HCL lab, shits scary
No distilled water?
Where’s phosphoric acid? That’s the OG teeth solvent.
lemonele?
Ether would be good as gin and tonic, sub for tonic.
