Materials
30% Hydrochloric acid
3% or 6% H2o2 peroxide
Acetone
Equipment
60ml syringe
Two 30ml syringes
Two glass jars
Fridge
Thermometer
Coffee filters
First put the H2o2, acetone and a glass jar in the freezer for an hour or so to bring the
temp down to around 0 degrees Celsius.
Measure out 25ml of acetone using a 30ml syringe and put it in the chilled jar. Then add
75ml of 6% H2o2 or 150ml of 3% using the 60ml syringe (adjust according to purity) then
put it back in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
Next measure out 20ml of 30%HCl in the other 30ml syringe and add it SLOWLY! and
swish it around a little then put it in the fridge overnight or some where just below 10
degrees is better.
After 12-18 hours there will be little white crystals on the bottom, these are AP so be
careful!
Take a coffee filter and put it over the second jar, next pour all the liquid and AP into the
filter and let it drain through leaving a whitish paste on the filter.
Take the filter away from the jar and leave it to sit on some newspaper in the air to dry
out for a while. When it's dry it will look like a white powder.
Notes
Try to keep it as cool as possible while doing the synth...
It's heat and friction sensitive and cannot be stored safely for more than a week even
when it's stored under water.
