Can someone please explain to swim just when he should be pulling from the solvent mix when at the final purification stage?
swim did not see distinct layers- though he did pull mostly clear looking stuff from the top which did produce a rip-roaring fantastic (side effect free) experience.
Swim read elsewhere that one should pull as soon as they see something clear on top- but swim saw that and the volume of mostly clear solution didnt seem to swim like all the good stuff would be there.
Other than a xylene boil (which goes against the whole premise of the 'no smell' tek), swim is hoping to get a better understanding of whats going on. So far, according to swims limited understanding, it appears as if there are impurities in the basified extract (duh!) and that bufo should be the first to crash out once the proper dipole moment is reached by combining solvents?????? Is this correct?
If so, then one adds Naphta to the acetone dropwise until clear stuff crashes out, and then once that ratio is noted, one may possibly continue to add that mix/ratio in order to allow for more volume of solution to get all of the bufo out.???
Swim noted what looked like a top, mostly clear phase, then a gradiation all the way down to the darker waste layer that ended up yielding sludge after everything was evaporated- he was frustrated that there wasnt a clean separation because he feels he was likely leaving alot of good stuff behind (aprox 600 mg of impure fumerate salt only yielded 20 someodd mgs of off white goodness.
