Crystals in Solution

All that follows is of course fictional and for entertainment purposes only. Drugs are bad, M’kay?

First off, let’s just clear up that yes, I’m a f"cktard/assclown/curler-in-the-squat-rack for doing it wrong etc etc…

Now we’ve got that out of the way:

I attempted to make a oxandralone solution using 5grams of oxandralone that I found under the Christmas tree and 500ml of alcohol at 63%vol(found in the hands of a wino). I poured the powder into a plastic bottle containing the liquid and heated it in a pan of bubbling water for 5 minutes. There was some residue at the bottom so I shook it and left it to cool for about 20 min.
Once it had cooled there was only a little residue left but over time the residue has “turned” into clear crystals ±2mm.

I have reheated the solution for longer(10min)but the crystals remain. Presumably I could add more alcohol to aid dissolving but I’d prefer to keep the alcohol level down(seriously having 10mls in the morning or after training is not fun!The smell of alcohol is pretty strong it even overpowers my BO. That must be why the girls don’t talk to me…)

Anyway, does anyone have any other suggestions? Do you know of any other ways of aiding dissolution?
Would water help or should I just keep my bastard solution in the shot rack?

Many thanks in advance guys.

Next time use a higher proof alcohol. 126 just isn’t enough.

You should still be able to get it into solution though if you pick up some PEG (maybe PEG400?) and mix it in. I used to have access to it years back when I was in a lab; I’m sure it’s readily available from chem suppliers though. Nothing inherently illicit about it.

Why even make a solution? Why not just use the powder in capsules?

Because capping is tedious. It’s very annoying trying to weigh out ratios of filler to product. Mixing is annoying. It costs more in supplies.

Those are the reasons I would give, at least.

PEG

Fuck it - just take a teaspoon once a week! :wink:

(really - dont.)

Thanks for your suggestions whotookmyname and Doc L.

I’ll see how it works out. Hopefully I’ll avoid any laxative effects!

Next time I’ll try BR’s oil suggestion if I can’t source any higher alcohol.
