Azide solvent?

does anyone know a lead azide solvent that won`t affect metals at all?

 

its dried into place and compressed and I`de really rather not waste it by doing the obvious!

Lead azide is very barely soluble in hot water, but VERY soluble in acetic acid. You could take a warm vinegar solution and wash the azide away slowly as it should be more soluble in the CH3COOH than most metals are.

would it still be usable afterwards though?

 

just on spec, how about eth or methanol? that would at least evaporate leaving my original azide :)

As far as I remmeber they are FAR more stable in solution :)

If YT was asking if Azides are more stable in solution my answer makes sence.
