SWIM also had success, yileds were also low, about %0.8, but it was his first try and he did make mistakes. The water that came through with the first limo pull surely casued problems, he will lower the amount to below 300ml next time. He tested a small ball a few days ago and it was a very enjoyable expeerience lasting a good 10 hours then home to bed with no ill after effects.

a few questions for 69ron...

Will a lack of water make a huge difference to the tek? it seems to SWIM that less is better than more, also... SWIM experienced precipitates on the first few HCL pulls, he will try using vinegar next time but he wants to know if SWIY still experiences these precipitates? SWIM read this on another forum from 69ron

"Both of them produced precipitates caused by the calcium hydroxide after salting which needed to be filtered out. After filtering out the calcium junk he separated the 5% hydrochloric acid solution from the two solvents."

So does SWIY still get this? does he just filter each pull or has he refined the process to not have this problem. Will a coffee filter be sufficient to filter these out?

all help is appreciated
