>>can someone tell me where to get a mask (for
>>connection to nitrogen tank)?

In California I lived near a medical supply store.
They sold oxygen tanks and I suppose would include
masks of different types. Want a free one? They look
like a baseball cup with a few slight modifications.
Even for the final act I'd get a new one... You
could also cut a gallon plastic milk jug diagonally
across the corner and tape your hose to it and
around your head.

a. Ether

from http://netvet.wustl.edu/org/awic/bib/avmaeuth.htm

Ether has high solubility in blood and induces
anesthesia slowly, is irritating to the eyes and nose, and
poses serious risks associated with its flammability.

Ether is flammable and explosive and should not be used
near an open flame or other ignition sources. Explosions
have occurred when animals, euthanatized with ether,
were placed in an ordinary (not explosion proof)
refrigerator or freezer and when bagged animals were
placed in an incinerator.

How pure is the ether in "engine starting fluid"?
I would not be suprised if it was adulterated to
prevent 'huffing'.

>>The Rubber Band is Placed around the openong of

You might consider soaking the ether into a rag
rather than just pouring it on to the bag.

Also consider that ether is a powerful solvent-
it'd be pretty shitty to wake up with a bad
headache and a plastic bag permanently melted on
to your face and hair.

Says you.
Ether was routinely used for anethesia until the
LONG TERM dangers became known. If it can keep you
from noticing that your leg is being sawn off, It
should be just fine for keeping you from noticing
that you are permanently out of oxygen.
