using a/b solution for STB, using saved rootbark

[LemonScented]

if SWIM was to pour a gallon of fully-pulled, basified solution over old MHRB powder that was used to create the first extraction, do you suppose this would allow for more DMT extraction? a lot of people have asked about reusing basified material. Would this make the end result extremely fatty?
The first extraction was done with a pound a powder, to a gallon of solution; A/B extraction, consisted of about 3 pulls but SWIM felt it didn't get all of the spice out because the yields really sucked. originally he thought this was because the pH was too low but after adding a lot of lye it didn't seem to improve much. anyhow, does this sound effective? to SWIM it seems to be worth a try. SWIM's only concern is that the solution will get extremely thick and he'll be back in that old boat. Is a gallon of solution enough to do a STB for a pound of MHRB?

why not re extract from this already extracted solution if you believe it still has some?

mixing the two has no point other than to re extract from already extracted material.(if swiy is up to doing a double volume extraction with almost no more dmt involved then so be it) Instead of combining 2 extractions into one do a clean extraction with the new bark, and find a different way to extract the left over spice in the old extraction.

by the way, 1 lb of bark should mix with 2 gallons of basified solution.
maybe the soup is TOO THICK for the solvent to pull out all the spice. (nomanstek) 450 grams X 15ml water = 6750 ml......~3800 ml in a gallon, so swiy should have 3000ml more water/lye.

what do you mean by re extract?

the original extraction was a/b not stb. it wasn't extremely thick. anyhow, in the past three pulls to fill a gallon worked fine for a/b. this however had crappy yields.. the reason he wanted to use the old solution was for the basified content, the pH is just right and SWIM isn't a fan of buying lye.

but thats good to know, so swim should divide the solution before adding base to avoid thickness?
