Hey. I have been reusing naptha and have noticed that it has been getting more and more sudsy when sprayed out of my bastor. I sometimes use soap to clean my jars and was wondering if soap
1. Would absorb into the naptha and stay there?(not go into the water )
2. What effect it would have on extractions?
3. Do you think I should dump the old naptha and start it fresh again?

I have not noticed anything wrong with my end product as of yet. I rinse out the soap fairly well I thought but I guess it slowly gathers more and more as I reuse the naptha. I dunno. Maybe the suds are a result of the plant saponins? Don't know.

Thank you!

1) If you don't wipe down with acetone or IPA, it is a very good possibility.
2) A lot of soaps have surfactants, dyes, fragrances and other unknown stuff. So nothing good and likely contamination in your finished material.
3) Dispose of it properly and use new napatha. Recycling is great but 'when in doubt, throw it out' is a good rule of thumb for chemicals as well as food. If you don't know what the contamination is or how to remove it you do not want to use it. Sometimes it just cheaper and better to buy new even if you could clean it.
"Whereas modern cynicism brought despair about the ability of the human species to realize laudable ideals, postmodern cynicism doesn't —not because it's optimistic, but because it can't take ideals seriously in the first place. The prevailing attitude is Absurdism. A postmodern magazine may be irreverent, but not bitterly irreverent, for it's not purposefully irreverent; its aim is indiscriminate, because everyone is equally ridiculous. And anyway, there's no moral basis for passing judgment. Just sit back and enjoy the show. " - Robert Wright

I freeze precip and it comes out fine. But I will most likely throw it out. Now that I think about it I don't even use soap I use a sponge that once had soap in it. But its all the same I guess. I just like using old naptha cuz it seperates wayyy faster/better. Good rule of thumb, though. I was also thinking it might be normal for it to get sudsy over time.
