basic question, how do you use the clay to clarify distillate?

after winterizing and filtering out the waxes through 3 stages, do you just add clay into the ethanol/bho solution and mix under heat for a little while?


How much clay is added to the solution?

Need to study chromatography. It's used all the time in the manufacture of Rx medications for separation of specific particles.

I don't have celite or aluminum oxide, nor can I afford, at the moment to purchase any celite 545 or aluminum oxide.

I've been using bentonite clay after a carbon filter. I add about 2 tsp per liter agitate in the flask for about 10 mins then filter it through celite cake

All the cool people are in this thread....what up homies!

Im with Demontric.....I got so extra aluminum oxide and celite if you need some for a run.

If BigJohnny is Medex on Youtube....i certainly can pay forward the help your videos gave me in my first distillate run!

Take my information with a grain of salt. I'm typically known as the cheap dirty scab of the growing forums.

Bentonite is easy .
Then elute whatever you extracted with a solvent that will dissolve whatever you extracted.
Are you extracting thc from a solution or cleaning impurities with the clay...
