Why isn't everyone doing the drytek then? It seems to me even easier than a regular STB extraction a la noman.

1.How many pulls are necessary and how big should they be? Should Swim proceed like with a regular STB (1ml/g bark, 6-8 pulls) ?

2.Would it help to heat the naphta?

3.Can lye be used (different ratio as with regular STB?)

Just to clarify it: All one has to do is to mix bark+clacium hydroxide like cookie dough with a bit of water (just enough that it mixes) for a while before pulling with naptha?

No huge amounts of basified liquid? No seperation necessary? And higher yields?

It seems to good to be true!!
