5 october 2016; Starting up the traditional clay stove. it's an efficient fuel to heat ratio, although needs alot of labour to get it boiling hot. it starts fire real quick, and keeps amber very long. experiment with chemical boiling, silver visible, fumes not so bad
19 October 2016; 3rd attempt, using aluminium can. Unsatisfactory result. liquid not thoroughly boiled off, left over residue, white circular granules and thick liquid. 400ml = 2 rounds, about 20-30 sheets. need better, efficient way to extract metal from chems.
