Can someone confirm this please ron or burnt?Fuego said:a better way of cleaning your freebase is to just add it to water let it settle to the bottom, decant, add more water, so on until the water is clear. your freebase will be rediculously clean![]()
The water should be basified otherwise you loose product!Big Inhale said:Can someone confirm this please ron or burnt?Fuego said:a better way of cleaning your freebase is to just add it to water let it settle to the bottom, decant, add more water, so on until the water is clear. your freebase will be rediculously clean![]()

So lye could be used ? What ph was the water?Phlux- said:swim washed with basified water and the only loss was a loss of impurities (the water was basified with sodium carbonate)
So you think one tablespoon of lye would be sufficient since its stronger.Phlux- said:swim mixed about 2 teaspoons of sodium carbonate in about 100ml warm water to make the basic solution - no idea - sodium carbonate is really a much nicer base to work with.
not sure what pH has the initial soaking HCl water. It could be possible that extreme pH may break down those gums and oils which making filtration so difficultbluejay said:grind seed,,,soak in HCL water,,,filter,,, raise ph to 12 via lye water,,,let stand,,, vacuum pump out water,,,,pour in ph 12 again 2 more times,,,settleing after each time,,, now pour in straight hcl,,crystals dissolve and realse junk that was captured within them,,hcl water will be dark again,,,,raise ph to 12 and just keep doin this,,,take about a week and a half to run one jar,,hence running many at a time...
I have nothing against it I just dont have it and I have a good amount I would like to use it up.So what would be a good measurement with Lye to water Using 5 grams of extract.Phlux- said:1tbs lye to 100ml water would give you a very very strongly basic solution - perhaps too basic, could even possibly burn you - got anything against using bicarb or soda thats been baked in the oven - it really is a usefull thing to have around, its safe, etc...
when swim finishes his lye he will never buy lye again, sodium carbonate and calcium hydroxide seem to function perfecly and are far safer.
is there any extraction application where lye is required and the other 2 i mentioned wont cut it ?
