WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOMEMany people think that a nice
strong acid is the trick to
dissolving someone after
murdering them. Not so! A 20M solution of HCL or HF, would be an awful experience for anyone, but acids, when in contact with skin actually cause a slick film to be produced.
This is not the desired effect of a certain British man in the late 80s who decided to dissolve his
wife so he could
flush her down the
drain.
Instead look to the other side of the pH scale! Yes that's right! By using a very concentrated, high pH solution, the body will dissolve like sugar in water. A suggestion would be NaOH at 20M. Why go for anything less? This solution will quickly strip the skin from anyone's body and in under 24 hours you will not see anything but a colourful soup of liquified innards. Just pop the
plug, and in a
whirlpool of stuff, the person in question is out of your hair for good.
