And my question is when you run the liquid thru the final filter,whats left on the paper and what color is the final liquid?With out fitering with charcoal you play hell trying to get the crude out.And until you remove all the chlorophyll etc. you have produced nothing special.It will still taste and smell 2nd rate.Also if you can get it use petroleum ether.Its the most common used solvent for organic separation.It will evaporate rapidly at room temp so it doesnt take as much heat or time to get rid of it.-usdi Agaluga
