This was 50g MHRB, extracted with mid to high 80F naptha (room temp) but in the tek, stated "This is where things may seem a bit unconventional, but I swear by it." was to practically use a paint stirrer with a drill after adding lye and after adding naptha. no gentle swirling like I have since seen in almost every other tek. each time was only 2 pulls, so most likely threw away some goods :thumb_dow lesson learned.
Sadly I didn't take a pic of it upside down because I didn't know if stuff would fall out :lol:
directly after precip the top was all white, and the oil was a ring on the bottom. and as the naptha evaped the oil came through.
Is mine more likely plant fats/oils ? or could it be jungle spice?
the pic with no spice was a very small quantity re-x test. warmed the naptha in a hot water bath and spice seperate, but i probably used way too much even though i only used about 20-30ml. due to the amount of liquid i never got to see oil seperation and didn't decant anything. i more or less ended up dissolving the spice in too much naptha and made no change. did a precip. and all that was left was oil. no white spice resulted.
** the cleaned and seperated image is the total from 2 50g extractions. done the same way. **
