tried tried again....
Tried again. now really getting shit from the old man, couse i told him to eat shit and die. anyway-just bad dream all around.
started w/ 5gm E,I and 2.5R. (course took forever as swim couldnt even get the e cleaned up right on the first try. also experienced the start of a phosphorous fire, which swim believe may have spoiled the whole stew. swirled it out right away, but things seemed purpley the rest of the cook.
anway, mixed starting material, added a bit of dh20, sealed w/ baloon. reacted slowly but as should. added heat and had purple smoke. calmed it down and continued heating for about 1 hour. swim cooled reaction, rinsed w/ dh20 & filtered. added colemans to filtered honey. then rd, about 2 pinches (bottom looked like it swallowed the lye, then turned reallight orangy-yellow. swirled w/ alum foil stirrer and it went clear, w// llumpy,bubbly floaters in the bottom. let sit for a while, siphoned off coleman layer and gassed. turned kinda pinkish purple with some white but upon filtering - no go. swim gonna sleep now and dream of dreamin. try try again and swim another day!
