Somethings no one may tell you but you will find out eventually.

1. They might be called powders but they are sticky as hell 80% of the time. So always order 1 gram extra if possible. It will stick to the bag, scale, your hands, whatever it touches.

2. Getting it to go in to the solution isn't usually more difficult because of the hormone itsself, but the ester. Bold Undec. is probaly the easiest of them all to make, but Blod Base is a pain in the ass and might crash a few times before you can get it to work.

3. Never try to get the old heads at the gym to try your shit out. (9 times out of 10 they think they know every ****ing thing on the planet about juice even though they are doing 5 week Deca only cycles and never been on the net in their life.

4. Benzyl Benzonate is your friend. Alot of recipes on most boards will not call for it, but research harder, most people use it and it is great stuff, it makes your solution slightly thinner and it helps hold the hormones in the solution. Also it is painless, so high amounts are o.k. I have seen it used up to 30%. So less is not always best.

5. Got an idea, go ahead and try it after you have made some of the basics.

6. Never be afraid to ask an experienced bathtub chemist for tips. We love showing how smart we are. Then check the info with a few others to make sure we really aren't showing how dumb we are.

7. Always double check your math and plan to overdose. Ending up with 88mg/ml when you wanted 100mg/ml is not fun. Ending up with 108mg/ml isn't so bad.

8. Keep BA to a minimum but do not go below 1%. 1% is the minimum for sterility purposes.

9. Kits suck, they cost too damn much and you don't know what you're getting (magic solution). You should bookmark these two sites.

10. When it comes to oil you can use all kinds, but you really can't go wrong with grapeseed.

11. Always buy extra supplies, especially .2 pore filters (either PVDF, PTFE or Nylon). Having your experiment come to a screeching halt because your filter clogs/breaks is a real bitch.

12. Heating your gear should be kept to an absolute minimum. Use just enough to get your compounds into solution, but no more. Do not try and sterilize your gear by baking, it's not necessary and will just damage the hormone.
