Taking a stroll through a local Bunnings the other day, SWIM could really only find Shellite and Xylene as solvents for extraction.
Shellite leaving an oily residue and Xylene stinking like a major chemical spill, are there any other solvents that could be suggested to SWIM?

Toluene I believe is highly carcinogenic.

D-Limonene sounds ideal for its smell, safety, and pulling ability however I'm pretty sure it's not an available product in Australia.

Are there any other suggestions of what products that can be used for extracting Obtusifolia?
 
Can I ask if anyone here is getting results with Diggers Shellite purchased from Bunnings?
Ive had a few goes following the DMT Handbook method using Acacia Acuminata, hydrochloric acid to make the tea pH4 and caustic soda to basify over ph13. When I extra, the shellite turns a clear yellow liquid like pee, not milky like its supposed to.
I did get a very small amount of crystals in the freezing process, about 7mg from 100g of Acacia. That's a very poor result.
Any ideas on what's happening?
thanks
