Safety first!
What you must understand from the very beginning are 10 safety rules for proper use of materials and substances:


 1. Protect your eyes by goggles (To be quite safe wear them all the time). Substances might be corrosive.
 2. Remove even the smallest amount of spills by tissue paper
     (Clothes and skin may be destroyed by chemicals).
 3. Keep working areas free of cases, books etc.
 4.Read or hear the instructions carefully before you start to experiment.
 5. Work with care, watch results and write them down.
 6. Never eat or drink during experimentation.

 7.Never light your micro burner unless methylated spirit (or other inflammable liquids) have been removed.
     Extinguish your burner directly after use.
 8. Remember that even clothes and hair might burn
 9. Point vials away from yourself and others
10.Label each vial and dropper bottle prior to adding a substance.
