Hey everyone, I tried my first extraction yesterday using Gordo Tek but ran into a problem. Everything seemed to be going alright until I added the pickling lime (calcium hydroxide). I don't know if I put too much of it in bit the bark mixture turned from a sloppy mud-like material to clumpy, wet dirt-like material. It was too thick. When I added the Naphtha, the bark mixture just absorbed it all. Is this ruined? If it's not ruined, does anyone know how I would start over? Thanks for your help in advance

I don't have experience with this tek, but nothing is lost - you can always add lots of water. This will loosen up the bark and liberate the naphtha, which will separate and will float on top, where you can collect it.
