I'm following lazymans tek and I decided to follow the advice of letting the solution sit for 3 days, stirring each day. Today is the second full day and now my naptha layer is considereably thinner by I'd say 2/3rds. After the first day it was a nice yellow color and today it's a darker color. I'm wondering if I should add more naphtha or if I should just let it continue sitting before pulling tomorrow? Also, after the first day I decided to do a test pull with only 1 baster-ful of naphtha and I got a pea sized amount of waxy slightly yellow product. I'm worried my subsequent pulls wont yield similar results.

Here's what I used:
2500ml of water
Roughly 225 grams of lye
750ml of naphtha
Wine jug(wondering if perhaps the screw on cap isn't tight enough?)

Edit: Ok, about an hour ago I added around another 200 grams of lye, stirred and let it sit, and the naphtha layer returned to normal. I pulled a bunch out and it came out just as before so I'm quite happy. Again, sorry if this thread is redundant.
