Please keep the discussion open, i am on the same page of the process.

Wasnt able to start the extracting step with the naphta so i let the mixture (bark, lye, h2o and vinegar ) for tomorrow, when planing to go for the extraction.

I am following Cyb`s tech where it is suggested to keep the mixture for at least 1-2 hours at warm temperature, but nowhere in the tek is written if it is bad to leave it overnight and dropping the temperature.

I've had quite a few friends from the Eastside, it's the style I recognise I should simplify my English a bit to help. And I've direct experience of how difficult it can be with foreign languages, you're doing pretty well really.

PM function is for full members, try using the chat instead.
There's a little button for it in the top left of the screen.

There's an overall theme that could be merged down to one thread, the discussion won't be locked (unless it somehow goes South rather spectacularly - and I'm not a moderator).

You can let your base soup sit overnight quite happily. If anything, it'll help to break down the bark a little more. If you were able to mix in the first portion of naphtha that wouldn't be a bad thing either.

This is fine, just heat it back up before you pull.

Thank you both for the fast replies.

What should be best trough the night - should i leave it on the top of the radiator of my room ( const temp around 40 celsius or room temp ?

Put it somewhere safe where it can't get knocked over! As Tony says, you can warm it up again tomorrow.

Just don't put glass jars into hot water, there's a risk that they'll crack. Start with tepid and warm it up from there.
