greenkush Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 No offense, but unless you have lab training or know what you're doing. You could potentially kill yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Well by the looks of it I'm gonna need a distillation flask and a condenser. The flask needs to be at least 500ml, preferably starting from 1L. Just started looking into this now so not sure if that's all I'll need. Shot though. Super useful you are lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand So on the one hand you're suggesting not to try do these things unless you have proper lab training and on the other you're offering to source products? Edit: Perhaps not suggesting, you are entirely right! These things can be dangerous! Edited November 9, 2018 by Guest Clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Anyone can do these things safely, as long as you follow proper SOPs and do some reading, you won't necessarily kill yourself. Always just be safe and use some common sense. I'm not lashing out at GK, by no means, rather pointing out the double tune. There are limits, but a L or two of Etoh in your kitchen isn't going to blow your head away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen first hand what the miss handling of solvents have done to people with far more training than anyone here, proper chemical engineers/chemists back in my day at uni (biochem department) , and yes I offered to source the products for him because he's an adult and I'm sure he will use common sense and as he stated he is aware of the risks.
