FIRST OF ALL:
this is my PLANNED technique. I have yet to perform an extraction but From what I have read and my own understanding of chemistry I believe this should work.
DO NOT COUNT ON THIS TECHNIQUE WORKING! I am simply asking for advice on how I could improve it. Cheers, UnholyJim

1) Boil 300ml water
2) Allow water to cool, and then pour into glass jar. Add Sodium Hydroxide until
the solution becomes clear. (up to 50 g)
3) Add root bark, screw on lid and leave for 24 hours at room temperature
4) Add naptha (150 ml), replace lid and shake.
5) Leave in a warm dark place for a further 24 hours, shaking regularly.
6) Collect the layer of naptha using a pipette, placing it into another jar.
7) Allow to settle overnight.
(Any brown liquid should then be removed by pipette and disposed of)
8 ) Freeze the remaining liquid for 24 hours
9) Remove the jar from the freezer and allow to stand for 30 minutes
10) Filter the remaining liquid, the crystals should be left on the filter paper.
11) Allow the crystals to dry over a further 24 hour period.
12) Enjoy!
Can anyone advise me of any extra tricks or steps I may have missed?
(Note that I am aware of the safety precautions necessary with caustic soda and naptha)
