Hello
Just finished my first Max Ion tek and anxiously awaiting the results. Here are some new questions that I encountered during the process:
How can I tell when I have exhausted the MHRB? How do I know when to stop doing pulls?
Will a microwave change the properties of any of the chemicals, such as deionized water of naptha?
What sort of consistency should I expect with an ATB tek after the acidification stage? I read that it should be 1 part vinegar for 3 parts water. Is this correct?
If my mix registers a ph of 14 during basification, is it okay to add water to bring it back down to 12?
What is a reasonable amount of Naptha to use with a mix that measures around 1500ml?
I noticed that some teks call for hours of time between pulls, and some say you can do them back to back. What is the benefit of waiting between pulls, after the naptha/mix has been agitated? what happens if I just pull the naptha as soon as it separates to the top each time?
Has anyone swapped out the vinegar for phosphoric acid during acidification stage? If so, was it worth it?
