Yeah that's the same crust I had on my lye batches. Looks identical.
I chose the wash with water route and ended up with what's pictured.
That 192mg is all I ended up recovering and was from 1/4 of the batch so essentially I recovered 192 milligrams from 25grams of bark. With better technique I guess that could be improved.
The other batch I just recovered with solvents.
I haven't yet bio-assayed but might get around to it tonight. Been months since I've been to hyperspace so I guess it's about time.
EDIT: I vaporized some and it smells just as it should. Leaves behind a yellow/brown residue. Tasted just the tinest bit and it was really harsh. Like I said it's been awhile for me but that was much harsher than I remember. I don't think this is something I would even want to try at a full dose now. Might try to clean it up a bit more.
