official extraction help thread

Migrated topic.
Sort by date Sort by votes
I ran another extraction on some old MHRB soup (a solution with lye and all) that I had in my closet for 4 months.

I just added new Naphta and tried to do a pull, but I got this goo instead of crystals.

Last time I managed to do 3 pulls on the same soup, so I figured it still had some value.

Is it because the soup was kept for this long?

Could it be because of the Naphta I used? Last time I used Zippo ligther fluid, and now I used a bottle that was labeled as "white spirit" (ingredients: Naphtha (petroleum), hydrotreated light)

Thanks.
Any risks of using it like this?

Well, judging by the colour, it does rather look as though it could also be contaminated with base soup. And its consistency also makes it hard to weigh out a dose accurately.

You are entirely responsible for your own decisions, however.

Thank you.
I thought those are plant oils, so I figured those will be okay to consume.
The soup has some harsh chemicals, so i'll run a mini a/b on it.

Btw, my Naphtha (mentioned above) sounds legit, right?

Did it pass the evap test?

The chem supplier near me calls it white spirit/turps.

Naphtha <60%
Kerosine <20%
Heptane (and isomers) <10%
Octane (and isomers) <10%
Methylcyclohexane <10%
Cyclohexane <5%
Toluene <5%

Quite the list.
You'd have to have to check the MSDS sheet to see what yours contains.

"Naphtha, hydrotreated, light" does sound reasonably hopeful, however.

[Incidentally, white spirit should properly be referred to as turps substitute, to avoid confusion with actual turpentine, which is a pine resin distillate.]

It did pass the evaporation test.
On the bottle it says: "contains: Naphtha.."
And that's it. I am not sure if that means its a 100% Naphtha, or they just didn't bother mentioning the other ingredients.

Id does have a more yellow color than the Zippo, and seems a bit more cloudy
