Iodine crystals are a particularly interesting substance. Iodine is a chemical that is almost required for a good contact explosive. Because it is so easy to find a recipe that includes Iodine crystals, I will not clutter up this file with them.
To create Iodine crystals, you will need the following:
Tincture of Iodine (or Iodine Tincture) --> Any amount
Candle, bunson burner, blowtorch or other flame. GRILL WILL NOT WORK!
Ice (regular, NOT dry...)
An all-metal lid (like to a jar) (2)
Grill (relatively clean, with no charcoal)
Tongs
Gloves
1) Put the bunson burner in the grill and light it. Then place the grill
part of the grill in its normal position.
2) Pour some of the iodine into the first lid and place it on the grill
above the flame. THE FLAME SHOULD NOT TOUCH THE LID, but should come
within one half to one full inch!!
3) Put the ice in the other lid and hold it above the lid with the soon to
be boiling iodine. This should be done with the tongs while wearing the
gloves!!!!
4) The alcohol should burn off and the iodine should re-cool on the bottom
of the lid with the ice in it. Use a jar, Dixie cup, shotgun cartrige,
facial orafice, whatever, to collect the crystals from the bottom of the
lid. These are the almost 100% pure iodine crystals. Very effective.
NOTE: Iodine (tincture of) should be bought in smaller quanities, as this
is all that is availible from drug/grocery stores. It is used to cover up
open wounds to expedite the healing process.
