thanks man...

i wonder if im doing something wrong. i have 6g of M5AA in 300ml of PEG-400 (20mg/ml). the stuff looks like milk with the consistency of maple syrup. i have water bathed it ateast 5 times now and even ran it though a hand-held blender.

i have never seen a pic of an oral solution done at home, so i dont know what it should look like...to me it just looks too thick. should i dilute it some more?

Just curious whats your idea of a hot water bath?

i take a bath with it...j/k

i have an aluminum coffee pot that has water on the stove heating up. i take the top off the M5AA bottle and submerge it until the solution is just under the water level. then i turn up heat on the stove top and let it simmer. i pull it out every 10 minutes for a shake, then i replace it in the pot. i do this for like 30-40 minutes.

is this wrong? should i bake?

You have a suspension not a solution, I would just shake vigerously before each use. As long as there is no percipitate collecting at the bottom you should be fine.
