Hello great nexuser's!!!
I have a question to ask for my dog's friend who happens to be doing an extraction.
He is using powdered MHRB, Roebic's Crystal Drain Cleaner (100% NAoH), and VM&P Naphtha.
He is doing STB. He is using some very big glass jars to do it in. He used somewhere between 1500 and 1650 mL water (one jar tap water the other jar distilled)
He used 100g lye in jar one, and 106g lye in jar two.
He used 100g powdered MHRB in jar one, and 96g powdered MHRB in jar two.
He has been using anywhere from 150-250 mL naphtha for each pull.
He mixes the lye with water stirring slowly until it is ready. He adds the powdered MHRB, and swisheshed it around. He let this sit for a day until it looked completely broken down and like one aqueous solution. He then added his naphtha. For pull one he let it sit a day, for pull 2 he let it sit for two days, and for pull 3 he let it sit for three days.
On pull one he only got .020 out of each jar of some very pure white fluff (two very small doses)
on pull two he only got about .025 to .030 of the pure white fluff, and he has some of the yellowish gooey stuff stuck all over the bottom of one tray, which he has not weighed yet as he was letting it sit out hoping it would dry more.
He is now freeze precipitating one jar on pull three and evaporating one. He is hoping he will get a bit more as this seems no where near a 1% pull rate.
In the freeze precip jar though there seems to be a good bit of crystals but still no where near .2 it looks like.
Oh well he is going to pour the naphtha out and let the crystals dry and see if anything comes out of the evaporated naphtha.
Does anyone have any idea why so far this seems like it will come no where near to 1%? I dont think he is even going to get .5 %.
Kind of disappointing but still worth it.
