Swim washed his 3 liters of limonene with 7-10 grams of washing soda and 600ml water, then used sep funnel to discard water. (Another great idea from Mr. Loveall's Ceilo tek)
Swim got two more extractions with his old sun worn limonene. Swim also tried to add a strong chacruna stew in place of the water. It worked, but he realized later he should have added more lime or maybe basified the water because it must have been acidic after reducing all night. Lessons learned.
(three extractions makes the limonene price not so bad at 75 bucks a gallon)
[MOD EDIT - NO SOURCING!]
Swim used only chacruna leaves that had fallen during the winter. He got half the yeild with those as apposed to fresh picked summertime leaf.
Swim hopes his notes help someone. Swim is NOT a chemist. Just a happy person.
