you need !500ml of water and ~75-100ml of naptha for a first pull, and dont shake it, stir it for a few hours n and off an then lt sit for a few more hours.IGNVS said:that would have been good, however i used a 1 liter mason jar. im only doing ~100gram extraction (first time). theres also more problems. i initialy had about 300 ml watter, added 3/16 cups lye, then my bark after it cooled off. i had a thick goo. so more water up to the .5 liter mark (it was already at 400). more lye. it was a little thinner but its hard to tell stiring with a chopstick. added ~100ml naptha (up to ~600ml). shook it hard and waited overnight. there was blackish red stuff completely covering the inside of the jar. it was black and only noticably red when in light. thismorning i get up to see that no two layers have formed. only one EXTREMELY thin naptha layer above about 580ml of goop. so thismorning i added a shitload more naptha and another tablespoon about of lye and watter all up to the 800 mark.
a layer still isnt forming. help me out bluelight.
and ~5-6 table sppons of lye is enough to raise the ph. for 5ooml of water.
