Anyone else had their limonene turn green? SWIM did. It's been confusing him a little, as every pull he has done came out much deeper a green than expected. He has now found that if he leaves said green solution aside for long enough, a green layer of what must be cactus tissue forms at the bottom of the glass.
Does this happen to anyone else?
I think SWIM's coffee grinder mash the stuff up a little too fine. Either that of his filters are useless.
Also SWIM dried mix completely before adding limonene. I think these lose cactus particles will stick to water quite nicely but if no water available they go into the limonene.
Also did anyone ever find out anything about the solubility of Mesc acetate in various solvents?
SWIM has a variety of purities from each pull, oddly enough seeming to get more pure and crystalline as he goes on. He was wondering what would be the best way to re-dissolve his extracts so he could assure it all to be of the same potency? He has the full range from a dried fruit peel texture to sparkly, glittery sand.
At the moment he's probably just going to redissolve all his extracts in vinegar again and then re-evap to hopefully have some standard potency. But if anyone knows of a more appropriate solvent that can be used to do a more thorough clean, that would be double amazing.
