i don't think parchment is a good idea in general, have read extensively about it adding yucky ingredients to the solution. (sorry can't cite anything now though, i read it all a while back then immediately eliminated parchment from my methods)Parchment contains 0 wax, can be heated to 425 and is environmentally safe.
BTW you can get great results with acetone. and readily available.
Debatable.
It's much too polar to be efficient if you're going for pristine quality--that's first off.
Forgetting that, as some rightly might, acetone is extremely reactive with a myriad of substances. I flat out guarantee you that you are producing new chemicals during an acetone wash. There's way too much floating around in there that will happily react with acetone--and you're using it as a solvent, forget about it.
if you want an answer backed by science, why not go do the fucking work yourself and report back what you find - like others of us have done but often grow weary of bothering to share due to inevitable denial and irrational arguments from armchair-contrarians and magical-thinkers.not even remotely debatable. I go through about 3-4 zips of oil a month. I brought my acetone SHATTER to the people I get my BHO from. No one could believe it was not BHO, and agreed it was some of the tastiest, smoothest stuff they ever had. The keys to my wash were freeze everything. the jar, the herb, the acetone. 20-30 sec wash. left in freezer for few days and filtered. I have made 3 acetone batches so far. all 3 I got shatter on run 1. the only time I tried rewashing a 2nd time I got gunk. yield seems better than straight BHO blasted. I have never done a soak with tane, so I could not comment on yield vs butane soak. so please. no debate on the acetone wash itself. it works fantastic. it was a simple question of " will it react with parchment paper." and "please back up with science"
umm if you have nothing positive to contribute, fuck off my thread and boost your post count somewhere else. I did not deny any answers you nitwit as no one answered my question.if you want an answer backed by science, why not go do the fucking work yourself and report back what you find - like others of us have done but often grow weary of bothering to share due to inevitable denial and irrational arguments from armchair-contrarians and magical-thinkers.
here's another challenge if you really care about your query at all, and aren't just trolling for an expert response you can shoot down: go find the academic articles i read during my parchment decision process, actually read them, then let us know what you think, and if the evidence isn't persuasive tell us why you hold that opinion.
as indicated above, i won't waste my time digging anything up for you, but will share the hint that it took me less than 15min on the web to consider the evidence and choose against.
again squiggly, thank you for input. the reason I ask for science to back things up is too many people confuse post count with fucking actual knowledge. As you can see from a few responces on here. So I look for answers that can site sources. I understand acetone not the best. but it works. especially very cold. hexane is hard for me to find. and expensive. I can get 99 iso, but did not like the results I got the one time I used it. There could be a learning curve there though. I would like some ethanol. same thing. hard to get and expensive. dont wish to order things online and have some fed showing up at my door looking for meth labs . any other readily available options you recommend?
I don't like to use solvents that have been identified as a carcinogen, mutagen, or teratogen, even at trace amounts. That is why I don't use Acetone and prefer to stick to simple alkanes or simple alkane alcohols if given a choice.
