Chees, some of you need now and then a clap on the head, and send back to the Newbee forum, it will only do you good, and when you feel that you have DONE the reaction, and saw things with your own eyes, and CHECKED your results against reliable data, then you are granted access here to talk about your experiences and ask questions, on level with the ones who actually did it.
That's why it's called the METHODS forum, it's not a subdirectory of the Newbee forum, which has btw also a WEALTH of info, go and look how to really start from Sassafras oil f.e.
To succeed in reaching the 'normal' yields for a AA Boro run, you must FIRST have REAL MDP2P.
The majority of cooks come whining here about "bad" amination methods, BECAUSE they did a BAD performic! Or a BAD oxone run. And NEVER EVER checked their oils against easy to find reliable data of their precursor oils and freebases, and used crappy oldfashioned laboratory techniques.
If you want to play with the Pro's, start acting like a Pro, and buy the most necessairy lab equipment, and don't try to cook in pots and pans. If you don't have the money to buy those things, that's nothing to be ashamed of, but don't bather us here then with crappy techniques, untill you have access to real lab gear. LT/
