uclalabrat, is this heating mantle good?


Ordered some safety goggles from Amazon.

Will be doing everything outside, at the very end of porch so fumes escape up and away.

Thanks!!!

Just ordered 2 pounds sodium hydroxide just in case that is better to use than the potassium hydroxide. Off to Home Depot in just a bit!

LOL! Their muriatic acid section was like the worst maintained section I have ever seen in any store, ever. All the boxes looked like that, but half of them had had the bottles fall out, with the bottles laying everywhere.

But I don't care, my bottles are both solid, full of HCA, ready to get this party STARTED!!!!

I've actually done similar stuff to this before Captante, this is no sweat. I just need UCLALabRat to give me more instructions on how much HCA to mix and stuff like that. But no, I am not going to burn myself or blow the house up you guys crack me up with what scardy-pants yall LOL...

You're at minimum mildly entertaining.... I don't REALLY want you to blow yourself up.
