Thanks!
having scale issues... finally got it figured out but it looks like I did only yield like .5%...
Any ideas why this may be? Quality of my bark or something I did wrong during the process?
1. warm water bath/Freeze thaw 3x
2. (maybe screwed up here?) Basified with a 50ml H20 and minimal vinegar (small splash) mixture. solution was 3.1 pH -- water bath for 8.5 hours
3. defat with 50ml naphtha
4. added 1L saline mixture (70g NaCl in 200mL hot H20, then 800mL H20 to top off)
5. slowly poured base solution (40g NaOH and 100mL flitered H20). solution had a pH of 12.3 -- water bath 2 hours. I then let it sit at room temp overnight.
6. Performed 6 pulls with naphtha, combined 1-3 in one pyrex, 4-6 in another, cool fanned down about 40% and froze for 48hours. I kept pulls in the fridge while performing the others.
7. poured off naphtha, dried with fan, scraped, re-x'ed
I did another 3 pulls a few days later that yielded hardly anything, maybe 70mg of yellow crystal and goo that I just left as is.
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!
