Holy fuck, I got the stuff to make dcm? Well zinc. Fuck, I bet I can use galvanized nails. I remember there was something you just HAD TO HAVE dcm for.
Chloroform
Pool CHLORINE (if they still got it, 10% NaOH) or bleach
Acetone
1 distillation
Anhydrous ethanol
Ethyl acetate ( aka M.E.K. substitute)
Sodium hydroxide ( lye)
Galvanized nails for default, but I'm sure I can find a better source for zinc
A couple of distillation
Virgin dcm with no papers. A not illegal chemistry experiment. Good for experience. They sell it on Amazon. Surprised the shit out of me.
