..see this thread for some good starter info. on acacia A/B extraction: confusa extraction there are plenty of teks on this site that will work, just take some time to research (and don't use hydrochlroric acid) ..
i don't personally work with this tree, but floribunda is reported generally as 0.3-0.4% in phyllodes, 0.5-0.8% bark...
I just did a STB on an Australian Acacia (no idea which one!) and am doing an A/B currently. The STB was my first extraction ever and I accidently had a small amount of plant matter in my final product which I thought probably wouldn't matter... I ended up with sticky brown gunk. I think an A/B extraction is a must for oily/fatty plants such as Acacias. When my A/B is finished I'll tell you how it goes.
hey igal thanks for the reply its interesting to read how your extraction went because i also got a brown oily goo.. i used phyllodes which i have a feeling makes it a bit harder because of all the oils so im thinking of trying floribunda bark
