I just wanted to add to this a bit -- if it does turn out to be 100% or anything close to that, you should get not only gloves, but a plastic apron, eye protection at the very least though a full face mask would be better, and either EXCELLENT ventilation or a fume hood... or let a professional do the mixing for you, because that 100% is not to be trifled with, it's serious poison.
That's the reason why ECF frowns on the discussion of anything over 100mg, I think is the limit, and it's possible that all these posts might get deleted because of that... but it would seem to be an emergency, if
it really does turn out to be that strong.

Andria, if it turns out to be 100% pure nicotine I will be looking for the safest way to dispose of it, and would not even consider working with it.
Just in case, I will take considerably more precautions when running the test on it.
Thank you for your concern and advise, it is greatly appreciated.
