so i have cactus powder that was mixed with lime(calcium hydroxide if i remember correctly) and then soaked in limonene, i made 3 or 4 pulls with some success, though the yield seemed a bit low, i wanted to do another pull or 2 but i have been busy, moving etc, and have had the basic cactus limo bucket hidden under piles of stuff for many months, i finaly figured i would finish the project and it was a giant emulsion! has this happened to anyone else? is there anyway to deal with it or should i just toss it and start over?

i'd basify with lye or KoH, and do one last pull with xylene or toluene

lye
let it get shaken by sitting it on a dryer or something that gyrates
add more dlimo (if you can afford it, otherwise xylene)
pull
salt
you know
