what do you think if swiy does a cake dry tek using lye and naphta istead of calcium hydroxyde and limonene? noone tryed it? would it works? in swim opinion it will..but noone tried it

calcium hydroxide works well in a dry/limetek because it is fairly insoluble in water. also an advantage is that it is far safer to work with, and adding excess is not a problem. q1 has a tek using calcium hydroxide and naptha or limonene.

I think it will work. There could be a problem with too dry bark absorbing your naptha and not giving it back. I only tried something similar once and ended up converting to a wet tek half way through because I was running out of solvent. It may end up being easier than a normal STB because there won't be any layers to separate.

in the science forum i just made a thread related to this.

imo bark will absorb less solvent if it's in naOH isn't?

ok swim has some calcium hydroxide but it's slaked lime 'cream' it's a nice cream with consistency of cooking cream,it's supposed to be just ca(OH)2 mixed with water..anyone knows for sure? and if i'm doing q21q21 white funfest how much of it should i need? swim thinks about 2 parts of it for 1 part of bark,any advice? q21 help me please.. is it the same that powdered lime?

cant you look up msds/ingredients/contact manufacturer and ask if there is anything appart from calcium hydroxide and water?

there's just written on :SLAKED LIME and there is various rxx antd other risk pharses ,and irritant symbol...it just written,contains calcium hydroxide..no i'll check manufacturer and try to search the msds

ok,in english it's written lime putty

ok i downloaded 2 pdf,one safety sheet and other tecnical sheet,in both there's written :it contains calcium hydroxyde and 4% max of caco3 so i assume it's just hydrated lime and water,now the problem is,,,how much of it i must use istead of dry powdered lime?


as far as my lime is already moist,i think i'll soak bark at ratio 3:5 with vinegar without add some water couse after it if i add lime it will become too moist..anyproblem about it? i'm doing funfest white dmt from q21q21 thanks

is ok to leave the mix of mimosa and lime to get dry and than powderize it before wash with naphtha?
