Isn't formaldehyde the usual way to up the HNO2 (NO) content of HNO3? In other works, make RFNA out of ordinary conc nitric?
Can you just keep feeding in formalin till you get desired density or is there a point of diminishing returns when you must resort to distillation?

Paraformaldehyde , IIRC does the trick , and also
produces formic acid as a byproduct .....
and I can't recall where it is I saw this reported ,
what was the temperature or particulars .
If you run across any reference on it grab it and
post it .
