Question about IPA as a solvent

Would it be safe to make homemade "blotter" using IPA. I wanted to make phenazepam blotter, so I could have it on hand, and safe to take. I was going to use over sized pieces of watercolor paper (much much bigger than a blottler hit of acid), and make doses of 500ug each. I just wanted to know, if I can get it to dissolve in 99% IPA, after the alcohol is evaporated will there be anything harmful left over? I know it will dissolve in propylene glycol, but PG will not evaporate.

You can test your IPA for purity by just putting a few drops onto a white or clear plate, evaporating it, and checking to see if anything is left behind. If it leaves no residue, and you completely dry the blotter paper of the IPA, I would say there are no harmful leftovers and you should be good to go.

I did exactly this, with phenazepam. Only I did not use watercolor paper - I used folded pieces of joint rolling paper and when dried up, I rolled them into gelcaps - allows dosage control as well, a little more messy than good blotter paper but I had none at the time. You should definitely experiment with the absorbancy of your paper before proceeding with the actual application.

Thank you both for your replies. I will look for leftover residue, and I will test the absorption of the the paper I get.

Did you have a hard time getting it to fully dissolve into the IPA?
