it might be easier to answer if i could read your post


edit; sorry, my settings have a blue background


wait a minute, i dont remember 69 rons's tek utilizing a blender

you have a VERY difficult emulsion, and i am not sure what the best way to proceed will be.?

my first suggestion would be to stop using the blender.

possibly heat the whole lot in a double boiler to force separation.

if not then-

possibly adding lots of water and some KOH and treating it like a A/B instead of a limetek.

^^this procedure worked ok to recover from the same senario with mimosa in a limetek.

Thanks for the reply. Yea I guess I shouldn't have blended. It was just so thick it didn't seem like it was going to mix any other way..

What about adding the rest of the D-limo? Would that Help? And I If I add more water will the d-limo be separate from the water or will the water dilute the d-limo? How would the KOH act to help? And how much should I use? I appreciate your or anyone's help very much!

i would try heating it gently first in a double boiler, and then wait a few days to see if time will separate anything.

perhaps someone else has a sure remedy.

if you get impatient waiting like i did a couple yrs ago with a mimosa limetek, i added excess water then spiked the ph with koh, and the limonene finally came out of emulsion. it really was not a pretty technique. it took many jugs and lots of patience, but i did recover the goods.

it is a bit different with the cactus, but you still have a emulsion. i think patience will be the best option.

Ok so I added some more d-limo, About 300 ml, and did a hot water bath. Looks like it helped just barely. I have almost 200 ml more that I can add. My question now is If I added more water when the layers finally separate will the water and D-limo be separate or will they just mix? Also Is it possible to add The vinegar without separating. And If I had to add a lot of vinegar could I boil the vinegar down or would that destroy any mescaline? I know it is a technique to boil cactus tea so maybe not.

I think also one of the reasons there is now separation is because I was able to powder my cactus extremely finely to the point where if you disturbed the powder some would float in the air like dust. Any input is appreciated I really want this to be a successful pull thanks.

Ive never done 69ron tek but I remember reading people having success aiding separation by adding plenty of sodium carbonate to the mix. Sodium carbonate + Calcium hydroxide = Sodium Hydroxide. So the pH will raise considerably, and it should make separation easier? Just be careful because it will be caustic pH , use goggles and gloves.

Good luck and let us know how it goes

Def dont add vinegar now, separate the limo first, otherwise youll just make a big mess

these

pay attention to detail!,

skip using a blender(you'll emulsify the heck out of it)

i'd dump it all out on a flat tray(s) and dry it all out
then start over, use much less base this time(as its already basic...)
