It has been 8 hours and some has began to precipitate on the bottom, there is a small amount of particles floating on the surface but have always been there because they never mixed with the solution.

I still have 16-64 hours to go before entire solution would have precipitated, I'm going to head out and get me a 1L of acetone and 450 mls of Hydrochloric acid.

Two more hours before we see the yield...

Ok I just filter, dried it out and stored it.

Ingredients:
72g Hydrogen peroxide 6%
6g Hexamine
9g Citric Acid

I got this recipe off totse and converted the 9% to a 6% and then halfed the amounts, from this I got 15g of pure HMTD.

Bad yield?

wow not bad at all considering 6% hydrogen peroxide. It only takes like 2 grams to set off most ammonium nitrate mixtures excluding anfo.

I spilt like maybe 2 grams lol and that was my hammer test, plus there was a bit I couldn't get off the filters so I burnt them haha nothing special just a really fast.

well what are you gonna do with it now

you hammer test 2g at once??

I think he might have guessed the mass. 2g of TATP would make you very deaf, so HMTD would to.
