I should have clarified. It was general safety that I was concerned about. You mentioned that you didn't have much time, and I took that as not enough time to complete the extraction and you would be hurried to finish it.

I'm sure that was a silly assumption to make. You seem very thorough.

I use a 12 inch, 10 mL glass pipette with a rubber bulb. If I'm doing a smaller extraction I try to use a wine bottle which has the skinny neck allowing for a thick solvent layer.

Sure, it takes more time, but when the solvent layer gets close to the base soup, I have extreme precision. No lye.

It was like 7$ on amazon.

I honestly cannot even imagine doing an extraction with a turkey baster, even though it's done commonly.

Thanks,
I'm waiting my order of pipettes, little one, and in the meanwhile my pulls are in the hexane in a jar covered from the light in a room temperature, quite cold, i've no time to do all in one or two days, i have to take break in between the steps, i've not figure out how much can i wait and what have to be done quick in the extraction (cyb tek)...

Then i ordered some caapi leaf for changa and some mimosa hostilis bark, so i have much thing to try and learn from...i'm reading about changa and i'm interested.

Thanks to all, i was thinking that i'm the only one that can't be able to use a turkey baster :-)
