DANGEROUS POPPER RECIPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!BEWARE!!!!!!THIS IS THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!
Cute title for this post huh?
Best thing about it? My hands are not shaking as much and I just put the poppers down. God, I adore these Isobutyl pops!
OK, let's get serious. As promised here's Popp-peeeeeeeeeeee Pig! Sorry, I digress and am still a lot spacey.
I will need to tweak this recipe because it is so very potent. You confirmed addicts will fall in love with this. It does have an acidic start to the huff. I should add more acid, me thinks. Will try for the next batch. I will tweak and report but not soon. This batch will last at least 4 days if tonight is any indication.
So let's start: If you do not know JimOakey's set up please go find it and do as it says. I re-posted it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/popperpigs/comments/3k1i6j/adventures_in_popper_production/
Those who do; I will give enough details so you will not need to review the posts.

JimOakey uses a portable drill press for mixing. He puts a hand drill in it and places the "J" corner cut from a plastic hanger inserted into the drill as a mixing tool. Take a plastic hanger, turn it upright. See the top and bottom corners look like a J ? Just cut out that J and force it into a hand drill bit slot. So that the little up turn of the J is at the bottom and is the portion that does the mixing - is in the blend. http://www.amazon.com/Wolfcraft-4525404-Attachment-4-Inch-8-Inch/dp/B000JCIMEA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452057063&sr=8-1&keywords=portable+drill+press
Step 5) After 10 minutes allow the mixing to continue. Add 1 ounce of battery acid. Add slowly. I added it slowly over a 4 minute duration. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/autocraft-battery-acid-cycle-acid/2030000-P?searchTerm=battery+acid
I paint my container black and keep in a room temp, dark corner of my office.
I drew 23 ml from this batch, but tossed the rest - about 1 ml.
Thanks again, this is all very helpful. I was thinking i might have to go ACS, and Reagent grade since Spirulina absorbs heavy metals apparently.
I was kinda torn between getting cheaper ingredients now for fish use and upgrading later for selling quality, but now I think I'm defiantly looking to be able to sell (Spirulina and Zarrouk). So I'll be looking into the ratings. However, resources like your link will be useful for cheaper options for fish food. Tbh I'll probably experiment more with common garden fertilizers and such for this purpose.
Also, I'ts kinda awkward to be searching for "food grade" Boric Acid. So far even Quality ACS Boric Acid warns not for Food use.
​
For others looking, so far the items I've found and am considering purchasing are as follows:
Dipotassium hydrogen phosphate
Sodium nitrate
Potassium Sulfate
Calcium Chloride
ethylene diamino tetracetic acid
​
Solution A:
Boric Acid
Manganese (II) Chloride Tetrahydrate (MnCl2 . 4 H2O )
Zinc Sulfate
Copper Sulfate
Molybdenum oxide
I'll try to make a complete edited list after some more research.
"Glaubersalz" is just a type of sodium sulfate.
> Decahydrate, known as the mineral mirabilite, widely used by chemical industry. Also known as Glaubers salt.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_sulfate
Apparently (I'm German) it can be easily bought in the US e.g. on Amazon. Here is one such listing: http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Sulfate-Granular-Anhydrous-Crystals/dp/B005K4EKQQ

> Glauber's Salt: Glauber's salt is simply sodium sulfate mixed with water. The chemical formula is 10 H2O*Na2SO4. This means there are 10 water molecules per molecule of sodium sulfate. The molecular weight of water is 18 times 10 makes 180. The weight of sodium sulfate is 142. So in order to make Glauber's salt, you simply need to mix at a ratio of 180 weight in water to every 142 weight of sodium sulfate, or 180/322 = 56% water by weight to 44% sodium sulfate by weight. As a simple example, add 180 grams of water (180ml) to 142 grams of anhydrous sodium sulfate and you will have Glauber's Salt.
