im in the Uk so i donr kno where i can find it, the 71% stuff is wot i got wen i asked for it at my local pharmacy...i dont wanna go round askin for for the pure stuff cuz u always get that nosey fucker sayin wot do u need it for?? lol il see wot i can find on monday the mouldy bud in question is in the freezer now anyway...peace and thanks for ur input
I've never used 71% iso, but when I was in Jamaica last I had too much bud so I made oil out of it. I could only find 71% Alcohol made from Sugar Cane. I did a quick wash and dried it outside.... It worked, I ended up with a nice red product that looked a lot like opium.
The only difference between 71% and 90% is the percentage of distilled water.
All that means is it will take a little longer to dissolve matter and a little longer to evaporate.
Ummm unless you have some magic 100% ISO there Howie there's ALWAYS going to be some water. If you don't have a SAFE way to speed evaporation, then it will take a little while longer for the water to evaporate.
Butane is much more dangerous and expensive. I prefer it myself (i wont even smoke my ISO anymore, just turn it into cannabrex) but it's not easy for everyone to make.
Anything under 91 will take forever and a day to evap

Even with a constant heat source such as a double boiler, the rate of evaporation is way too slow, go ahead and try if you ABSOLUTELY can't get the good stuff. many have done it with nice results but for your first time use 91 or better, it's available in the US in bulk in stores such as SAMS CLUB COSTCO BJ'S etc Usually runs about 99 cents for 2 litres ime. I doubt u have these stores nearby b/c every large cahin store pharmacy in creation sells 91% in both 70ml and litre size.
The end product has a better color and flavor imo when the evap is quicker, as well. hope this helps.
btw dr. D i would make butter with them startin-to-mould budz.
Iso will work too but get the 91% IMHO, it works a lot better dr. d
here's the link to making butter, this d00d has a great write up, only thing i do differently is freeze the butter overnight rather than in the fridge. This makes it firmer and of coarse its faster but removal from the container is why, slab pops right out and is easier to catch/handle ime. http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=12895&highlight=cannabutter
lol we yanks spell the word, "mould"
like this :
"mold"
damn buncha' language butchers we are! lol
try that if searching for "mould" doesn't turn much up.
Hope this helps

the above batch of Ghiraldi Chocolate and Peanutbutter chip Brownies was made partially with moldy outdoor shake, yum! itwas DELICIOUS! and did the trick, lasted many weeks in the fridge. The butter lasts as long as regular butter in the freezer ime.
Hey Captain Jack..id make butter but i have quite a low tolerance to eating cannabis and with this weed it wud fuck me right up lol i smoked a joint lastr night and i cudnt see proply for like2 hours..lol...i have made a bit of oil with this71%ISO that was wen i used it to clean all the trichs stuck in the bubbleb ag filter..it all evaporated off ok leaving a layer of oil and a bit off powder it never got smoked just sat around the house then got chucked i think...anyway if i canrt get the purer stuf then il use it...thanks for ur input evryone...peace
krs juan.. I do and have used 100% iso it comes in barrels, and btw its not magic.....
also i have been making iso oil for about 18 years now....... and 70% iso sux ass.... it has to much water that needs to be burned out thus changing the color taste smell and overall effect......btw butane oil is easy to make

This weekend at the Grateful Garcia Gathering, I shared some of my cherry oil ISO with a bunch of experienced smokers who had never had such a thing. Comments were along the lines of "never smoked anything in my life like that" and "I was high for almost too long"
You know back in the day I use to clean my free-base pipe with Iso. I would pour in a 1/2 tsp, put my fingers on the holes and shake it till all the frost had melted,then pour it out on a mirror and set it on fire. After the flame went out and it cooled off you could use a razzor blade and scrape up the goodies. It tasted like shit and didn't burn all that clean.Then one day this chick told me I should be useing Ever Clear ( grain alcohol ) for this... It made a tremendous difference, it burned very clean and the only taste was from the product itself and not from the alcohol..... So I'm wondering if hash oil isn't the same way ? when I geta chance I'm going to do a little side by side testing ( 71% 90% and ever clear ) and see for ma damn self ! ( it's the Tred Barta way....lol ) Stay safe and Have fun ! no matter what you do... later BC
