STEP 1

Buy high strength alcohol to dilute RU. Check.



El_duterino... is this stuff good?



Raw materials left to buy
- propelyne glycol
- RU 58841

-------------------------
1.25mg Fin daily
Minox foam or liquid intermittently
Nizoral shampoo every 2-3 days
----------------
We need something better than Fin approved that targets the scalp only.
We need much better hair growth stimulants.

I did. I went to the big liquor chains and the highest they had was 60% Abysinthe. One of the guys told me to try one of the little boutique bottle shops instead.

I went to one near my place and there it was. Last one on the shelf. $55 though which was a bit expensive. I think it's legal to sell it in Oz because you can buy it online from the big retailers. Costs about $60.

I also went out today and got myself a bottle of propylene glycol

STEP 2

Get propylene glycol. Check.

Raw Materials Left to buy
- RU 58841

Equipment Left to buy
- scale
- small glass bottle for mixing RU with PG and alcohol
- eye droppers for applying RU to scalp

-------------------------
1.25mg Fin daily
Minox foam or liquid intermittently
Nizoral shampoo every 2-3 days
----------------

i found that the simplest way is to get a bunch of tiny plastic pouches..weight the powder needed daily and store inside the pouch. in the fridge.

keep the ethanol/PG mixed in one large bottle and use a larger dropper to mix the liquid with RU inside the pouch, then use that same dropper to apply it on head.

that way I can easily make a fresh mix everyday wihtout hassle. the only real work is weighting the daily amounts of powder with the scale, which takes me an hour every month or so

I'd also suggest a small 'scoop' type spoon.

RU is a topical anti-androgen which you order and make up at home. Do a seacrh and you'll find lots of information on it.

I bought my pouches in a large stationary shop in Japan..nothing special those are just a bunch of cheap, small pouches made out of PE.
I store those in a large, opaque zip-lock bag and in the fridge.

So you keep the RU in small zip lock bags. Then you store those small zip lock bags in a larger opaque zip lock bag. Then you store that larger opaque zip lock bag in a container?

i mean that the container of the small pouches is the larger bag.

It looks like a zip-lock back but its a nice, flat alumimium/plastic bag for photographic film rolls. Very airtight and totally opaque.

Got delivery of my RU today. I ordered from Kane.

Now I'm going to need to mix up the stuff.

I want to make an 10 day supply using 50mg of RU each day in a 1ml solution. This is my mixing plan.

0.5 grams of RU
0.7 x 9.5g of Alcohol = 6.65 g of alcohol
0.3 x 9.5g of PG = 2.85 g of PG

Is this correct to make up 10ml of the solution with 50mg or RU in each 1ml application?



Edit: Here's a picture of my RU lab. I think I'm ready to go.



-------------------------
1.25mg Fin daily
Minox foam or liquid intermittently
Nizoral shampoo every 2-3 days
----------------
