hello people, first time on so bear with me. i helped a friend cut lots of matches to get the red but ca'nt recall what she put in the bottle with the srtikers just before she had me shake it for a while and then soak, i remember the liquid turning red and that is what we put in the oven to cook awhile. can anyone refresh my memory please, because my friend has moved away so she ca'nt help me. thanks.

Lol well first i dont think you should soak them and i hope your using the srticking plates and not the heads?scrap the stricking plates with a sharp knife you will get a fare amount from a box of 50's-100's no need for soaking

you soak them in acetone to break down the glues. i would advise against evapping the tone in an oven. check this link and you will find all 3 steps needed to come to the point of starting a rxn (reaction)
