I have a STB that I pulled with naptha until my yields were almost non existent. The STB was 500g of MHRB, based with lye. The soup has been sitting in the jug for a few months now, waiting for my lazy ass to order some fumaric acid. It is finally on its way. Should be here soon. I have some D-limonene and want to add it to the STB in preparation for the arrival of the fumaric acid. I was planning on transferring the gallon of soup into glass jars, bit by bit to do the limonene pulls. The STB was done in an HDPE2 jug.
A couple of questions:
Is there a formal tek for doing a FASA on a depleted STB?
Can I just add the D-limonene to the plastic jug and do the pulls out of it instead of doing multiple transfers of the caustic soup into glass? The D-limonene came in an HDPE2 container, so I'm thinking it's safe with plastic.
Should I heat the soup or just the D-limonene? Or, should i heat both?
How long should I let the pulls sit?
And finally: How much D-limonene should I use with a gallon of MHRB soup?
Thank you for your time and attention and your carefully considered responses. I don't care what anyone says, you people are great.
