Totally agree, follow Cybs salt tek. Do 50g of bark too, if you do choose to do Cybs just to stay in sync with all of the numbers.
Its very easy, very straight forward. Dont shake, just roll and twist. Shaking could cause foaming/emulsions. If you roll and twist, you wont have to worry about that. If you do face an emulsion, add lye and it should settle. I typically roll and twist, and then Ill keep the bottle upside down to let the naptha pass thru from end to end, and then upright the bottle and let the naptha pass end to end again.
You dont need to HEAT anything though and Cyb says this somewhere, just keep everything warm. Dont try to boil anything, and act quick and dont let everything sit too long because thats when you get bark fat and oils coming along for the ride.
When it comes to the freeze precip stage, do 3-5 pulls of 50ml each avoiding the basified dark layer in the mixing jar. At all costs, do not suck up any particles of that dark layer. You wont be able to get every drop of naptha likely though if you use a baster or glass pipette, there will always be a slight layer on top of naptha that you just cant pull up because youll disturb the basified dark layer. Try to use a skinny, long bottle or a bottle that tapers at the top, not a fat wide bottle like a mason jar. Its easier to get more of the naphtha out of a skinny long bottle out into your freeze precip dishes than one that displaces the naptha over a wide area.
Use several shallow glass baking dishes. Each pull, give its own dish to. The less fluid per dish, the better. The quicker you get your dishes into the freezer the better also, because youll have less goo'ing. But, the slower you cool your dishes, the larger crystals youll have. I usually give pull 1 and 2 their own dish, and 3-5 Ill mix because theres less saturation toward the end.
