now my question .. is it possible to replace the Xylene in step 6 with shelite?

ive heard you talk about shelite quite alot kirby as your prefered choice of solvent to use for squirting the pseudo into the "blue" lagoon (gas+sodium metal)

reply would be cool

cheers

basically, can it be used to extract freebase pseudoephedrine

yeah mate it can,,

but why,,

go and buy some xylene,,

i know of two places close to me who have it on the shelves in one litre cans,,

also

did you get my email a couple of days ago,,

also

can you get isopropyl alcohol at this chem place you work at

thanks mate

yeh i replied to ur email

i can get isopropyl alcohol easy as ..



cant find xylene around where i am .. i dunno .. must be somethin about your neck of the woods

lets get together,,

ill get you 20 litres of xylene,,

see if you can score my friend 20 litres of iso

no need .. go to bunnings corener north lake rd and leach hwy .. isopropyl alcohol .. 375mls .. 8 bucks

pretty steep

but what u get in return would far exceed that little cost

your kidding

is it in every bunnings

what section

whats its trade name

thanks

id say its in every bunnings .. i know its in that one though .. under the name

"isopropyl Alcohol" .. lol made by diggers

100% dry

sane section as kerosene methy spirits turpentine etc etc

im sitting here shaking my head..

thanks mate ill check it out..

thanks harlequin, Glad to hear I can grab that instead of MS.

I checked Bunning's but couldn't find it there. I'm in Brissi. Is it only that one store, or do any other Bunning's have it??

fred

spook posts here occasionally and he is a queenslander..

so either wait for his response..

or go to http://161.57.220.62/forum/default.asp

register

and leave him a personal message

Must admit Fred i haven't seen it at Bunnings doesn't mean they don't sell it ...however you can find 100% acetone there .. i haven't checked all bunnings stores out.

If you are after Xylene go to luxury paints and buy a 4 Ltr can of thier medium thinners ..

But if you want a one stop shop go to Johns Paint Supplies north side of the river Ph: 38901482

He's got every fuckin thing under the sun xylene MEK iso and if you can come up with a good excuse if he ain't got it, he will probably get it for you .... but you may have to buy 20 ltrs thats the only hitch .. hes a good bloke too..

P.S. its probably best to just buy one thing at a time .. a young fellow like yourself cleaning out his shelves might arouse a bit of suspicion but i don't think he is too clued up on the solvents/making things idea, but i could be wrong. Just to save you messin' around i'd call first just to make sure he has what you want before going down there.

Hmmm. Shelite (spelling?) Swim thinks this is Petrolium Ether aka as Mobil Pegasol 1516 or Pegasol AA, Hexane, Ligroin, Colmans fluid & something else.

Its close to Zippo lighter fluid.

Check out cleaning supply places its often sold by the litre, or 4L. Same as IPA,Acetone,MEK. Swim got some DCM, got it home ,checked label, turns out its Methylene Chloride, Are they the same? Whats its use, except paint stripper.

Thanks Spook, I grabbed 4L of Acetone from Bunning's. I am after Toluene, and Isopropyl Alcohol. I'll be sure to check out that place you recommended though. Can you give me the addy, or should I just look it up??

You can also get Xylene from Bunning's.

shellite is spelt shellite

and its name is ,,cyclohexane

its a camping stove fuel

and kiwi

that methylene chloride,,

i have a faint memory that the chloride does something to the meth....

anyway,,doesnt matter,,,just dont use it

Fred ... the place i mentioned has isopropanol aka isopropyl alcohol, last time i spoke to them they didn't carry toluene because they don't sell very much of it, it's not that popular, i think because there are suspicions that it is a carcinogen, as a result it will be increasingly harder to get .. a good substutute for toluene is xylene in most situations. Off the top of my head i don't know the addy, its in the phone book .. but i gave you the phone number, give em a call ..

I didn't see the xylene at bunnings ,..thanks for that !!

Check out the Loctite displays, (loctite's a nut&bolt thread sealant) They have a lot of different super dooper solvents at super dooper prices.

hrmm ..ok never thought of that !! thanks for the tip..

kirb, i know we have had "wanker" defenition classes(which i thank you for, cause wanker can come in real useful in several posting applications)

but now they have thrown me another "football bat"......

Kirb, may i now know what the hell a "bloke" is? so i may further increase my quest to become "part-austrailian"

i promise to use it only in a positive manner,.......really....i promise

heehehehehehe-----(sneaky grin)eheheh

bloke n. pron. "blowk" (English); "bloke" (the rest of us). The closest American equivalent is guy, and it is pretty close. A bloke is a joe public, a random punter - any old guy off the street. Where it differs from guy is that it can't apply to your friends. You can't walk up to a group of your mates and say "Hi blokes, what's up?", as they'd all peer at you as if you'd been reading some strange cross-channel dictionary. The most common usage of the word bloke is almost definitely in the phrase "some bloke in the pub".

This is a resonable definition.

and

some bloke in the pub

has been the alibi for every thief in australia,,,

when the officer asks him,,,where did you get that son..

some bloke in the pub sold it to me

"and what did he look like son ??"

"well he had long hair a beard and wore a flanno !!"

did he have a name son..

bruce

So..........i could say " This bloke that i know, named Kirby, kicked this wanker named spook, and then stabbed Fred right in the wanker, then ran into this blokes house, named harlequin and caught him wanking off, stole all his shit and ran to this other blokes house named Green, is this good????

heheheheh just messin around, havin some fun fellas, dont take it personal.......................................... ........or ill kick you right in the wanker and kick the shit out of all your blokes too.... hehehe Green

well, i got scolded for this a little bit, by a austrailian(who will remain nameless humhum hummmmmm K-sme- heehe)

it seems that i have used the word wanker in the wrong form, so im going to clear this up real quick before kirby gets here and i dont have a wanker anymore hehehee

it seems that a wanker is a inatimate object: ie: you can kick a wanker in the nuts but you cant kick a wanker in the wanker, i tried to dissagree,(cause ive been kickin wankers around here for awhile now)but she just wouldnt have it...... so for the good of the show, i stand corrected, for as we all know........ a wanker is a wanker is a wanker and even though i understand that a wanker can be kicked, she does not see it that way, so lets refresh what ive learned tonight, a wanker can be kicked, but at the same time a wanker can not be kicked.......so no kickin wankers..untill a wanker kicks you first, then that bloke might deserve a swift kickin in the wanker..............eheheheheheeheheeheh

peace-------Greenskickedwankersalloverthissightandhasntmissedo newankeronce HA

reading all that gave me a headache

well at least you didnt get a wanker-ache

Was in a auto parts store once getting a pressure hone, When this chick comes in, shuffels around looking at the displays etc. Quickly skopes out the assistants & goes up to the youngest "excuse me, but my boyfriend would like some I-so-pro-pil-alk-o-hell to put inhis gastank toget ridof thewater. please."

Nearly pissed myself.

The assistants didn't know what it was.

I knew that they had stopped selling it a year ago.

But I did know where else it could be got, so I sent her there with the instruction to bring a Plastic solvent container & that she wanted it REFILLED.

Oh fuk, arr oh yeh, IPA is used to mix water with petrol to get rid of H2O in the bottom of the gas tank.

Its used to clean cutting fluid off Aluiminium before its welded or Anodised.

And in the metal casting industry to Dry out the moisture from the sand surface before pouring molten metal in ( won't explode like water does.)

yourve done some background work kiwi,,

you display one of the traits required to succeed in the game..

well done

Diggers Australia has a website & i'm sure they could point you in the right direction.

Did know the URL but can't remember it.
