After doing all Mars' tek, I put the full gallon glass jug( with first naptha pull) in the crockpot full of water to heat. Proll 1 quart of water in pot, plus the jug...
After 20 mins or so, I pulled up on the jug to shake it, and the bottom fell out!! FUCK....
After cleaning up the mess for 1/2 hour, I was wondering....
The crockpot is still full ( 5 liters), with the basified solution, the extra water from crockpot, the 200ml naptha, and a shitload of glass..the entire bottom is still in there...
Am I Done??
Or, can I filter out the glass, put into another glass jug, maybe add a little more lye, and continue on with naptha pulls?? will the naptha pick up any glass particles....

Damn...What a Rookie Move on my part....

Thankx,
Peace

You're going to not want direct contact between the glass jar and the crockpot ceramic. Use something that will create a barrier, such as a metal tray, a strainer that hangs from the top, or a rubber lining used for dishes in cabinets.

Alrighty, I'm done freakin' out...the kitchen is spotless( my wife would have my Balls for a snack!!), and I looked at the (2) 125ml pulls that I did before the "incident of ought 8" that I evap'd by 2/3 and been in freezer for about an hour....
Nicey, Whitey Crystals are all over the Place:d

I ended up pouring off the basified solution that was in the crock thru a coarse metal strainer, then thru a tee-shirt...spilled ALOT down the sink, dammit:cry:
I ended up with a gallon mayo wide-mouth jug and a 1/2 gallon mayo jug( also widemouth) almost full. Unfortunately, I had to punt to find some glass...
An additional @15g's of lye was added to each jug, and brought up to Naptha level with water. Shook the jugs to even out the added base.
????ml of Naptha was added to bring level to top. The jars are slightly warm to the touch. Rolled around, spun, etc., and now waiting to separate and siphon off w/ glass baster. Then evap, precip...
As it separates, a white swirling fog is appearing...

Again, Thankx Peeps for the Help so fast...looks like all is not lost....

Back with yield...
Edit...1.92 g's of Nicey,Whitey Crystals...should've been closer to 5g's...Not a Total Loss, though...
Live and Learn...
Peace

I once spilled a shot glass with 5g of dirty spice into my hot water bath then wile attempting to pour the hot water spice mixture in to another container to attempt salvage it slipped out of my hands and down the drain. I hate that sickening feeling I had its a bit like finding your plants have been ripped off. All you can do is be more careful next time and try not to think about it. And yes it happens to the best of us.
