ahahha...dont jinx SWIM!! this is still a work in progess..but it seems like its working..he says there are some nice feathery crystals forming..and hes even more excited to evaporate the second FASW..because it seems way way way more yellow...
SWIM hates scraping stickiness as well..and thats why he hopes this works...stickiness is the only reason he does NOT like the d-limonene tek...except hes not doing a 'drytek' with this..hes doing a normal STB with lye..15ml water per gram root bark per gram lye...the reason for this is because he wasnt having good luck with the calcium hydroxide tek with minimal water..just doesnt seem to work for him..
so this tek would be the D-Limonene STB->FASW->sodium carbonate->freebase tek
