SWIM also freehands.  He uses A/B (HCl/NaOH) with toulene pulls followed by the ever-so-handy FASA method.  SWIM has a soft spot in his heart for HDPE jugs (for NPS pulls), 5gal buckets (for final pulls leading up to disposal), nasal aspirators (thanks acolon), and and chianti bottles (for pipetting from the bottle neck).  SWIM collects all leftover materials--bark and soup--in a 5gal bucket for final pseudo-STB pulls (which turned out to be a life-saver last time, likely due to ph levels).


However, SWIM will now be focusing on helping develop the newer acetone-based techniques, so SWIM currently uses sodium carbonate with minimal water followed by acetone pulls and evap to freebase from fumarate product.  SWIM still uses VM&P naphtha with freeze-precip to retrieve pure spice from jungle-spice, but hopes to one day practice proper crystal growing techniques.


SWIM hopes to see some success from the acetone based extraction, but if not SWIM would likely experiment with DCM pulls, as he has vowed to never purchase another can of xylene or toulene ever again.  These would be performed almost completely within a 5-gal bucket--to include grinding MHRB--as an A/B and STB hybrid.
