CO CTB tomorrow morning

[IndictEvolution]

Tomorrow morning I will finally be gone. Will be mixing sulfuric and formic acid in a bucket in my car, and it should produce 10,000+ PPM within a minute or two. I plan to have a bottle of heated sulfuric acid, and room temp acid, so that I can mix them to find the right temperature. I want the reaction to progress rapidly, but not so rapid that it foams out of the bucket. I do want foaming, just not overflow. The amount is 900 ml of 95% formic acid (0.95 g/ml) and probably around 1200 ml of sulfuric acid. The heated sulfuric acid will be at around 70 C, and if when I pour that in, it foams too much, I will mix in a bit of the room temp stuff to cool it down a bit. You probably get the idea. Should work good enough. I'll be wearing a half-piece respirator with 3M acid gas cartridges to mitigate breathing in formic acid fumes (sulfuric not an issue, vapor pressure is low). If there's enough of it vaporizing, it may affect my eyes and maybe even skin, but I'll just close my eyes. If it affects my skin, oh well, I'll be passed out very quick anyways, and I'll be on opiates :)

Will u use other methods in combination or just the formic acid method alone?
