Well, I dunno of anyone who has a better way of breakin up them lil beads in time release pills (adderall, ritalin, etc.) than me, so im gonna tell how to make this thing that breaks up them lil beads alot quicker, easier, cleaner, etc. And its not hard to make.
What you need is the stem of a pen (long plastic piece, but everyone prolly knows that), an allen wrench (cant tell if mine says 3/16 or 3/18, but one of those for the size), and a drill bit (which i also dunno the size but its a lil bigger around than the hole in the pen.)
Now this is what I did to make it with them materials above. I first took the drill bit with the FLAT end first, andstuck it in the pen a lil bit with my hands (but it takes a lil arm power maybe). Then I used a hammer to get the drill bit inside the pen. What I did was I put a old magazine on a table, then set the lil "contraption" with the drill bit side down, and held it like that while I carefully hammered on the top of the pen. Now as you hammer, the drill bit should slowly, but surely, go into in pen more and more. But dont expect it to exactly go in fast, the point of it is so the drill bit very snugly fits in the pen so none of the powder seeps down while you break them beads up. Now after you hammer the drill bit in a lil bit that way, you can either continue that way, or hammer it from the other way, which ever way you choose. Now how to know when to stop? You want the drill bit in the pen up to where when you put the allen wrench (longer side in)in the other side of the pen (which is open u know) and the allen wrench touches the drill bit. BUT, its good to hit in the drill bit a lil bit extra once that allen wrench touches the drill bit so you can make sure the allen wrench can fully touch bottom. Then once u do that, YOUR DONE, thats the lil contraption.
How to use it? Well, some its self-explanable, but you take the allen wrench out (of course) and pour in them lil beads, put the allen wrench back in, and start just twistin the allen wrench back and forth, and stuff. And while you do that you should hear the lil beads breakin. But you also should get a paper clip too so that you can scrape inside and get the extra powder in there cuz u know, some of the powder will get compacted in there a lil bit.
BUT, i must stress that you willNEED to pull the allen wrench out a couple times while breakin up the stuff so that you can get some of the powder out and get to the rest of the beads. But be CAUTIONED, when u pull that allen wrench out, do it slowly, cuz some of the powder will get packed between the wrench and pen, so some can fly out if u pull it out too fast, and also some of the powder will getpacked on the wrench too, so use something to easily scrape it off the allen wrench. And before u put the allen wrench back in to break up more, use that paper clip or w/e and use it softened up some of the packed powder in the bottom and stuff by just pushing it down and up, and all over, not just on one spot.
But if you got any q's bout this thing, ask me, ill be happy to answer.
