Hi i followed dmt handbook tek and when the layers should have separated they didn't Can I try again without dumping the basified solution? Do I have to re heat it up? Please help me I don't want to throw everything away

Add more base. Commonly that's the issue with first extractions. The nearest we ever come to knowing truth is when we are witness to paradox.

Keep in hot water... I’d try adding more naphtha and keeping it warm this time and see if you can get a pull.. if not scrap it and start over This guys ego ^

Even after you've heated and added base, you can still add salt even which can sometimes help. I wouldn't scrap a soup unless it had sat there for months and still not separated, which I am yet to see. The nearest we ever come to knowing truth is when we are witness to paradox.

Is It normal that when I shake it it gets foamy? I'm trying adding salt first and I put some of the tea in a glass jar inside a hit water pan If it doesn't still work I'll try to falsify more What do you suggest? And when I shake I have to let it sit for a minute in between but with open or closed cap? Oh and the foam doesn't never go away afteri shacked Thanks

Don't shake it! Stir with a large spoon. That's probably why you're having this problem.

Actually I know it's the problem.

I wouldn't scrap a soup unless it had sat there for months and still not separated, which I am yet to see. I have had 60ml naphtha not separate from a jar of 50g mhrb powdered and 50g lye with 300ml h2o. I left it sit for a week and still didn't separate and I tried heating in warm h2o and nothing. I added another 60ml naphtha and that would separate but I didn't get a good yield. I got 0.121 of dry white spice.
