Help dmc packaging and welfare check

[huntermellow]

is the packaging from dmc discreet like you would never be able to tell what's inside it? it doesn't say anything about there's dangerous chemicals inside it? also how likely am i to get a welfare check in the uk if i have a history of pill overdoses in the past and mental health problems… and what should i say if i were to get a welfare check?

It should say food preservative/kitchen salt or something like that on it. If anyone asks what it's for (which I doubt) say you need it for cooking or experiment.

On my package was a bill with concrete information about what's in it

Here is something I found to tell if someone ask you:

Coloring Wood with Sodium Nitrite:

Sodium Nitrite as a Wood Stain: Sodium nitrite can be used to color wood. It reacts with the natural tannins in the wood, leading to a chemical reaction that darkens the wood. This method is particularly effective with oak wood, which has a high tannin content.

Application Steps:

1. Preparing the Wood: The wood should be clean, dry, and free from grease or other contaminants.
2. Preparing the Sodium Nitrite Solution: A solution of sodium nitrite in water is prepared, usually with a concentration of about 5-10%.
3. Applying the Solution: The sodium nitrite solution is evenly applied to the wood surface, for example, using a brush or cloth.
4. Allowing to React: The solution needs time to react with the wood. Depending on the type of wood and the desired intensity of the color, this can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour.
5. Neutralizing and Drying: After the reaction time, the wood should be neutralized with a weak acid solution (e.g., acetic acid) to remove any excess sodium nitrite and stop the reaction. The wood is then thoroughly dried.

Result:

The result is a dark brown to black coloration of the wood, produced by the chemical reaction between sodium nitrite and the tannins in the wood. This color is unique to this method and cannot be exactly replicated with other stains.

My outside packaging said something to do with ceramics or pottery??. Very discreet. As in, an outright lie that was very much appreciated.
But adding to the above, the package was small & discreet but has stamps from the country of origin & you might need a story ready on what you could possibly be getting from that particular country. And the product is a popular food item - so maybe know what you could be doing in the kitchen as DMC advertise it for food purposes. I can't help with welfare checks as in another country & know the UK is different, especially post BBC.
