lipstick on a pig......its still a pig
the real answer is all of what LJ has done...... I tried everything that is on this thread.....and the best results I ever got was the A/B... method and using ether during the base process.... then washing with acetone after converting back to HCL.... but if I were still messing with coke I would try ...chloroform wash to the coke first ..... then the a/b...... that might remove some of the the junk that the ether dosn't in base step.....but since I quit 6 months ago.... I will never know...1980 is really over.... we can re-work the hell outta todays coke....but when you start with poorly made , degraded ,oxidized coke to start with ... there is only so much you can do8)
