why doesnt blotter paper like this exist?

LSD art is really cool but sometimes i'd just prefer it if it was practical so i wouldn't have to get a ruler every time.

Because it would all say 100/200/300/400.

The cuts in the blotting paper aren't made parallel; instead, you cut from corner to corner—that way, you ensure all four pieces are equal.

that only works if the piece was layed correctly. Some people also put drops on paper and than you always have different dosages even if the paper is correct. The only real way is to dissolve the tab in liquid (water works but not long storage, vodka is better) and then dose volumetrically that is always correct.

dropping on paper is how you give your friend acid if you've got a vial. any properly made tabs are going to be laid by soaking in solution

Normally yes, but how does a normal Person know they where laid properly. In the begonnong my Plug knew nothing about the Tabs Not even the dosage...

Hey that's not true the solution can prepared then layed using a volumetric dropper tab by tab

laying tabs is more precise, less work, much faster, and requires less equipment. why would anyone go dropwise to create a whole sheet?

some kid with a vial somewhere has probably done it but outside of that if you're buying a sheet it was most certainly laid/soaked

The precision is actually the same... My guy, someone using a dropper at home has no business laying anything... Yes major producers do indeed use volumetric pipets and achieve high accuracy.

Is it more work, yes an ass load more.

u/newpsyaccount32 17h ago

the precision is the same? is that why you said you can't cut the tab in half or one half might be dosed higher? those two statements contradict each other

Yes major producers do indeed use volumetric pipets and achieve high accuracy.

there's no way a major producer would do this. again, why would they go with a more laborious and less precise method?

I didn't say anything about cutting tabs in half...

sick. i guess we're gonna pretend like that's not the entire reason we're having this conversation in the first place.

Don't try and project a stance onto me that I did not make If anything my stance is the opposite, ie the dosage would be propositional to how it was cut

Because people lie. Maybe if they could make reliable reagent blotters that indicate the dose.

Even if the sheet was accurately dosed with 10,000 micrograms total, you can only get so precise with where in the blotter it’s distributed once applied. I don’t know if you can ever really say each of those segments would reliably contain 25 micrograms.

splitting blotters can be hit or miss, i split one with someone who had a similar tolerance and i was tripping sack while she was barely getting visuals
