The moment I saw that I knew I had to reproduce that. Turns out you can just buy all the required stuff.

I did some lab work on selenium a long while back.

The worst was when a reaction overheated and the chemicals decomposed.

The smell was truly revolting. It reminded me of skunk, burnt rubber tires and sewer.
