where the hell is my naptha going?!

Swim prepared 6 large mason jars with 100g mhrb / 100g ly / 600ml deionised water / 100 ml naptha water and made the mistake of shaking them vigorously. large amounts of emulsion formed so swim added lye and it seemed to disappear.

on first pull only 350ml of naptha was recovered and the emulsion looks to be mostly gone. the rest must still be mixed in with the base layer somehow.

Could anyone help me with a way of coaxing more of it out into the solvent layer? is this normal to only get that much back out on a pull?

Many thanks
 
1. Add more lye water
2. Put jar inside another bowl to prevent catastrophic failure, then put on top of a sub/large speaker and add some bass heavy tunes.
3. Bowl of hot water that you put the jar in to increase the temp of the liquid/emulsions.
4. Wait a few days, and sometimes emulsions will clear by themselves.

Those 4 usually can kill any emulsions i have came across, you may have to try all four of them though if its a real nasty emulation.

Good luck-
 
lol, liking the playing it some nasty bass to clear it up, very inventive solution. If i added a total of 600 ml tho how much realistically should i be able to get out on a pull? 350ml seems low to me or is that normal?
