etn

i just made some etn. I heard something about recrystallizing it in denature alcohol. Can someone tell me the process of doing this? Is this necessary?

Recrystalization will increase crystal size, and larger crystals are more shock sensitive.
The process of recrystalization is found in any introductory lab manual. It is the sort of basic knowledge that should be had before making explosives.
We also have other threads on ETN, available via the search engine.
