Someone made an incredible donation to the channel yesterday. I don't want to call people out and post a name because they have not specifically told me it was OK to do so. But with their donation I was able to get the following:

1 pound of ammonium perchlorate which I will use to make other perchlorates and perchloric acid (either as the pure acid or in-situ from a highly soluble perchlorate). 

1 pound of realgar powder which I will use to do some arsenic chem and pyro mixes (it came from a fireworks supply company). I should even be able to make some of the ever elusive arsenic trioxide with it. If Basil Valentine could pull it off how hard can it be? 

1 pound of pyro grade antimony trisulfide for pyro mixes and other antimony chem. That element is far from played out.

2 pounds of barium chlorate for making other chlorates and probably some pyromixes as well

1 new stir/hot plate that can get hot enough to boil water easily and that won't die in 3 months

5 pounds of sodium hydroxide

5 grams of thallium. I know you all don't like the thallium chems as much (or YT is suppressing the hell out of them) but there is a core audience for those videos who share my fascination with this wrongly maligned element. 

1 gram of thulium

1 blue watch lume kit. I believe the lume contains lumanova or super luminova (strontium aluminate). I have been doing research on restoring the glow to radium dials and this compound was said to give great results. I have a collection of radium dials (I think about 15 at this point) plus some radium sulfate in a barium sulfate matrix. I would like to extract the radium and combine the lume with it to create a modern amateur take on the classic Undark paint. Failing that I can always apply the lume to the watch dials and restore their glow. Either way we are going to get to see radium make shit glow in the dark. I went with blue lume so it would look all cool and cherenkov-y. :-) 

All of that came to slightly more than the donation but that's alright. I was happy to chip in. :-)
