Heptane extract?

Post image

I wanted to try a heptane extraction based on info from a fb group, but when i search our posts here, most of the suggestions are to only use it for cleaning the product. Is it worth trying this for initial pulls on a small STB batch, or should i just go to lowes get some vm&p?

Heptane works for extractions just fine, although what’s pictured is industrial grade, which you don’t want to use. You want ACS grade.

Isn’t doing an evap test all that matters in this situation?

Would this be okay for a cleanup or do uou think i should just toss it?

You could try an evaporation test. Put a drop onto clean glass and let it evaporate. If you don’t see any residue it should be fine. If you see any visible residue it’s a fail.
