Having read a zillion posts on various methods of extracting DMT from MHRB , I have a few questions most pertaining to STB . So if there is someone who would be so kind to educate me I sure would appreciate it .
1. When making up the base of DH20 and NaOH , what difference does it make how much water you use ? As long as the HMRB is diluted enough to work with and the base is around 13.4 .
1a. Can there be too much DH2O/base to MHRB , and if so what happens and how do you fix it ?
2. When the Naptha is added to the MHRB mix and combined for a pull , there are many suggestions to let the mix sit for as short as 15 mins , right up to days before attempting to remove the top layer . Since naptha holds more DMT when hot what happens as the mix cools even overnight ? Will the DMT drop out of solution , and where would it go ?
2a. What is a decent soak time before removing the naptha layer ?
2b. Since hot/warm naptha is more efficent why would you even want to wait so long for it get cold when doing a pull ? It seems counter productive .
3. What is the saturation point of naptha to DMT ? I would think less naptha is better then way extra.
4. When doing an extended MHRB soak ie. overnight , does tannins and impurities cross over as well ?
5. Can a warm water bath be too hot/too cold for the MHRB/NaOH/naptha mix ? If so, how hot/cold is too hot/cold and what happens ?
6. What happens if the DH20 base has too high/low of a ph ? How much is too much and how does this effect everything ?
7. Does DMT degrade in a naptha suspension when exposed to bright light ?
8. Does DMT degrade if left for extended periods of time in a naptha suspension ?
9. When keeping everything warm in a hot water bath , does the steam/water vapor cause any problems ?
10. There are recommendations to do anywhere from three to six pulls , how can you tell when you have done enough without freeze precp ?
11. Some techs say the inital step of using acid in a STB tech is no longer needed , how come ?
12. If the naptha will not seperate , what conditions cause that and how can it be resolved ?
13. HPDE or glass containers are recommended , there is clear containers used for water now , are these ok to use as long as they don't melt ?
That's it for now , I hope somebody is willing to spend the time answering these questions for me . I would like to understand what is going on with the extractions instead of just following a recipe and hoping for the best .
Take care and many thanks !

If the naptha is warmed, it won't stay warm for long once it's mixed with the MHRB solution, and warming the whole jug or jar just doesn't seem worth the trouble to me.
