As you will see it's a very touchy product because even with a lot of
experience you can burn your skin. [RH: Sadly, experience proves this
statement to be true. The best remedy I have seen for burns on the hands
is to run copious amounts of cold water over the hand, and then to put on
a loose-fitting rubber laboratory glove and to fill it with an aqueous
solution of ammonia. It is better to avoid the trouble... after this
seminar my lab was 'booby trapped' with deposits of butter of antimony and
I would often have burns and not know where I had touched the material. I
had to wash all lab surfaces, drawer handles, faucets with ammonia.]
Please never touch the glass without gloves, wear always glasses. The
butter of antimony has several uses. This, the butter of antimony will be
very useful in the Urbigerus path, it's a very rapid path. I already said,
but I will give you enough to develop it now because we have not done any
security questions. But the butter of antimony has other interests. When
the weather is very dry you cannot make the angel water with potassium
carbonate, it does not work. The butter of antimony will deliquesce in the
driest African desert. At anytime of the year, the deliquescence is very
fast. A few hours are necessary. You must distill the deliquescence water
that you get from it. The other advantage is that is more penetrating and
more powerful water than you get from the water of the angels. And if
you're very careful once you have the sophic butter - eternal. And for
every distillation of the deliquescence, you keep the butter.
And you have to be very careful, a few drops of water on the butter
transforms it to algaroth. And algaroth is a hassle to put back into
butter. You will see the apparatus outside. This tube here and here - a
tube inside it. This is filled with fresh stibnite and some fresh scoria.
This is heated at between 240 and 260 C and the butter will come in the
flask beneath. You just put a pan with cold water - there's no need to
refrigerate. To get the fresh chloride there's 2 possibilities. First you
make a cold attack of the sea salt with sulfuric acid, but you get a much
better butter if you make a hot attack on the sea salt with nitric acid.
So you have to have a heating device up there and the reaction occurs
between 70 to 80 C.
Afterwards this seems very simple but rather simple. I repeat it gives you
an advantage to have a deliquescence phenomenon - we can get the solar
fire in the air that comes to the distillation water afterwards and with
this water you can load the crystal useful to make a stone. Marc will give
details of this afterwards. Now we'll show you the butter right now. This
is butter but don't eat it. Laughs.
