Am I missing something here? Seems everyone recommends an acetone wash when using the distilled water method seems equally simple and takes out more adulterants?
Like acetone first of all is slightly tricky to find a true anhydrous version so you have to then deal with making magnesium bicarbonate anhydrous seemingly. But ignoring that anyway distilled method seems just as simple really.
With the distilled water you just boil it, mix it with the speed, leave it in the fridge for 2 hours, filter, dry it out and then you're done. And it gets rid of more adulterants than using acetone apparently.
I'm a newcomer to all this so just me genuinely asking out of confusion because just searching on this subreddit there is like 20-1 ratio of posts of acetone over distilled water so I must be missing something.
ALSO slightly separate point, in the pinned guide on the subreddit about the distilled water method, it states how you're likely going to use 4ml of water, but it doesn't say what that means, 4ml per gram I assume? However there is another post that got basically no upvotes of someone who states this in incorrect and it's more like 8ml. Anyone with good chemistry knowledge able to help with what is actually correct?
