Take it from an Organic Chemist: if you can get the USP grade stuff already made; use it. To synth it you would need a background in the field as well as the glass ( in this case jointed lab glass like 24/40 or 29/42 and the like)as well as the precursor chemicals to make and purify it properly. Given the cost of the equipment & supplies needed and the time required to make it it is cheaper to get it another way. Unless ,you have a passion for it( hey I can hope, can't I? XD ) and are looking to gain the experience, that is.
Wow that sounds pretty complicated. I never thought it could be that difficult. No I don't have a passion for chemistry
I did physics in school and uni, but i was always completely useless at chem. anyway i did find a preservative, which i'm gonna check on monday. but thanks all for the help.
