-add 50g of bark to water and 10ml of vinegar solution to acidify.
-mix thoroughly for (how long? does it matter how long?).
-let solution cool to room temp and add (10gr) lye slowly.
-mix and let it cool again.
-add heptane and swirl.
-wait for layers to form.
-put container with the solution in a warm water bath at ~50 degrees celsius for (how long? is 2 hours enough?) while swirling periodically.
-extract top layer into a separate container and freeze precipitate.
-let solvent completely evaporate
-do a few more pulls and freeze and evaporate again.
so am I missing anything? is this sufficient?
please enlighten me. thank you very much
