Hey there, so this will be my first time doing an extraction, I want to follow "thick light tek". Now the tek has some absence of detail. I have a few questions to go over about the tek. THIS IS THE TEK. I will post the step number following with any questions I have about each step, please if you do answer try and give some detail remember I am a complete noob! Anyways heres my questions! theres a lot I know I just want to make sure I don't waste product I hate wasting money!!! And I also had someone give me a few tips about the tek (he hasn't been back online since tho 
) I will also ask about what he said and see if its all good! Q's in Orange and italics. Answers to questions when I find answers or when people answer them and the source will all be in Green.
First of all, can I use like 125g at a time instead and would I use 25% of every other ingredient as well then if I can even do 125s?
STEP 1 - If my bark came in powder form is this necessary?
STEP 3 - So I pour off the acidic water and leave the bark powder in the original pot, adding water and more vinegar to the original with the left over bark again each time??
STEP 4 - I Can use multiple smaller jars if I need to right? I don't have any half gallon jars but I have quart sized ones
STEP 6 - Why let it separate 6 times?
STEP 7 - What does "decant the naphtha" mean?
STEP 10 - Wth??? Did I miss something I don't even know what this step is trying to get me to do!? I thought the naphtha and the bark and what not are separate by this point in the above step it was talking about getting crystals already??
ADDITIONAL NOTES/TIPS Questions.
"Filtering the final boils before basing, results in a less than likely chance of ending up with dirty Naptha." - At which point do I filter it?
"Don't powder my bark due to the pains of filtering all the sediment as you're doing consecutive boils." Seeing how mine is powder already what can I do to filter without too much a hassle?! and no I don't have silk screen which I have seen suggested?
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT (LETS JUST CALL HIM GUY) GUY SAID:
"The goo fell out of the naphtha at room temp faster than the crystal so I waited for the goo to congeal on the bottom then quickly poured off the naphtha and put that in the freezer" Does this sound accurate is this necessary or is there some other way of getting the two separate in an easy manner?
Don't worry about separating the two, the goo can be up to 92% dmt the goo is just typically harder to handle but stull can be very potent [Source - ..Enough GOO questions! read this.. - FAQ - All your basic questions and answers - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus]
RANDOM QUESTIONS
And is using a PH meter instead of X amount of vinegar and lye better?
What kind of gloves are "chemical resistant"? I have nitrile gloves a big box I could double or triple up? And I have a thick pair of heavy duty gloves (the rubber kind) to cover my wrist area as well except they have a tiny hole in the one finger so that's why I'm asking about the double up thing for underneath!
Thanks a million to anybody who answers anything!!! I know its a lot of questions but like I said I don't want to mess anything up I hate wasting money! And also I figured as the questions get answered I will edit the OP with the answers so hopefully if anybody else trys this tek maybe the answers to questions they have will be right here! Anyways have a wonderful day
