DOC Blotter not evenly spread over all the blotters

I have acquired some DOC blotters at 1.5mg per blotter. Upon looking closely at the blotters, it seems as if there is nothing on a few blotters and more amounts of the powder on other blotters. When blotters are laid with amounts in the mg range are you able to see it? From what I can see it looks unevenly spread across the blotters providing varying dosages. I'm just trying to be cautious with this one especially with the small dose range.
 
DOC is safe up to 10mg.

I've established that 1 blotter square in my experience with DOC.
Cannot hold more than 3mg of DOC.
and by that point, they actually Sparkle.
 
Yes I understand what you are saying but in my picture, it looks like the DOC is more dense on some blotters whereas the ones in the middle look like they have nothing on them. This comes back to my question for more the more knowledgeable users here. Before I noticed this, I took one of the tabs and had no effect for 3 hours and assumed that blotter had nothing on it, so I took a different one and am experiencing some minor effects of the DOC now.
 
^makes a good point. While 1.5mg might not seem like a lot, it is a lot to actually be able to bind into paper (which is why in my experience DOC tabs were fatter and larger than LSD tabs).

Edit: It looks like the grain of the paper to me, unless there's something you can see which doesn't come across in pictures..
 
I don't think thats the grain of the paper. It looks like powder to me. The blotters are smooth yet you can see several of the blotters have varying amounts of DOC on them as if it was made in a sloppy manner. Even the middle one looks like there is nothing on it at all. So for any of the knowledgeable BL users, could you please comment on this? Thank you for the answers

EDIT: Im asking this in terms of harm reduction because I don't know if you can even see such small amounts of DOC on a blotter.

Or wet the sheet with just enough distilled water to thoroughly soak it. Then let it dry slowly. It should help in redistributing the DOC.
 
I am with the op that it does look as if powder has collected in little clumps & lines. If the op took a tab with zero results, it is possible the papers have been laid inacurately. The post above mine is a good idea, basically carefully resoak the blotter so that it's evenly covered, allow them to dry & take another look (& perhaps another pic). I'd use a strong alcohol so that it evaporates quicker.

Good luck!
 
^ you'll want it to evaporate slowly. There will be more chance of even distribution in this case (IMO)

NO, Please do NOT do this. I've had extensive experience with and still use many forms of chromatography. You'll end up getting differential migration of anything that may be present in the blotter. And if you do in fact have blotter with unequal doses you're going to end up with a complete mess.

Won't bother to explain the principles behind this, but google 'theories of thin layer chromatography'.

You obviously know more than me about chromatography so correct me if I'm wrong. With TLC, the solvent migrates from one end of the substrate to the other talking the various components of a mixture with it. I'm suggesting evenly soaking and evenly drying the blotter. Therefore the DOC should migrate evenly and not in one particular direction.

What I do know about is laying blotter and that's how it's done. Soak and dry. Yes there will be some unevenness due to capillary action but it stays within reasonable levels of tolerance.
 
So just a little update: I started by consuming 1 blotter as stated above. Took another blotter 3 hours later because I felt nothing...A couple hours later I had very minor oev's mostly in my peripherals (objects looked as if they were waving slowly) until I went to the club where I couldn't really notice such minor visuals. I felt a little music enhancement and tactile enhancement and had a good time although I did consume a couple drinks and a few bumps of coke at the club. I didn't feel any stimulation from the DOC before or after the cocaine. To be honest I'd say I didn't consume 3mg (2x 1.5mg tabs) because those blotters are all unevenly dosed. I'm fairly sensitive to psychs so 3mg seems like it would be a strong dose for me. I'm going to have to take a closer look at the other blotters when I have a chance, and possibly do as suggested above. How do you re-soak the blotters?
I really am excited to have a stronger DOC experience eventually!

EDIT: Also this is from a reliable vendor I have purchased from in the past so I am not worried about the purity of the DOC being low but I could be wrong...

We always try to get 100% even migration of the solvent. Level surfaces, etc. Never quite get there. Close, but not enough that I would be willing to chance what you're suggesting. Also, unless the blotter paper is perfectly uniform or homogeneous I wouldn't bother.

Best of luck to you.

Do you have any advice as to how the op might redistribute the drug more evenly on the blotter..? What advice would you give to the op when using blotters that might be inadequately layed..?

I do bother and I get completely acceptable results. I'm not saying that there isn't some unevenness but it's imperceptible and analogous to the variations which you naturally see between pressed pills in the same batch. So either your theory is wrong or every person who lays blotter well has some sort of previously unexplained supernatural ability
