You would find a bunson burner and beakers, etc at a chemical research supply shop but its unnecessary. Use pyrex glass wear, and a good thermometer. Maybe heat up water to a +20° from melting point and put in a deep glass baking pan and then compound in a pyrex glass dish or cup and let it sit surrounded by the water. Once the glass heats up to the temperature it should start to become liquid. However ambient temperature and moisture from steam could alter the experiment. All in all if your not an alchemists in a rv out in the desert, leave it to the big boys who took college chemistry lmfao j/k... good luck and hope it all works for you and it was legit gear.
