Kind of feel like I'm beating a dead horse here. Considering what's going on with the availability and access of these supplements. It's just one more right and that much more so called freedom going down the drain. To be honest I can't hardly motivate myself to even go through this tedium. I seriously loathe it. Unfortunately the way it works I think is the more you practice, the better you get but you end up hating doing it so much you don't want to. Ok but seriously now, I've done a ridiculous amount to reading various proceedure. However there is just one question or issue I have yet to see addressed. Say you were going to use NaOH to make the EB soluble. They usually recommend doing this on the first step. That is with a whole bottle of heet and all the gunk still in there. Well say you went ahead with the first rinse and have TP + EB powder, no naoh yet. They always say to add it supersaturated with h20. This might be a stupid question but do you have to add it disolved in h20? Cause if you were doing the 4x crystalization method, and you decided at whatever step you wanted to get rid of as much EB as possible, even though you will probably loose some P esters. Neglible amount if done properly. Ok then say you had approx 3.5-4g powder. It's going to dissolve in a small amount of heet. When you add the naoh in h20 it could cause some crashing. So what I'd like to know is this avoidable by using like another whole bottle of heet, or why can't you just add the naoh in without the water. That water could cause you to lose whatever TP it dissolves. Do you have to maintain some ratio for it not to crash some? Or is naoh not soluble in methanol cause if thats the case how's it even going to get to the EB to react. So could one just add what they deemed the correct amount of naoh to the heet without the h20?
