Back on the topic of acid, it's pretty much impossible to know what you have unless you've already done some from the same batch. Dosing acid is more madness than method. Usually people use a paint-roller like mechanism that they dip in acid then roll over a sheet of tabs. Pretty imprecise. Anyway, it's possible you got sold tab paper at an inflated price. It's equally likely that you got some acid that's been sitting in some fool's car for 2 weeks and went stale. Also totally possible you just got some weak acid but who knows. The good news is you didn't get an RC, which you should count as a blessing.
