Sweet!!

I am actually curious as to how you were able to get it onto filter paper without it exploding. How do they transport the stuff??

By the way, the I2 cloud is really neat, too!

When it's wet it's not explosive, so you transfer it to the filter paper then, and move it as close as you can to your final destination. So I put it in the storage room next to the classroom, and prayed no one would slam the door...

I didn't have ear protection on when I did a test run in my lab, and my ears were ringing (and I couldn't hear) for a good 10 minutes! The guy from the next lab over came to see if I was ok...
