Making Better Amadou! (Part 2 of 7) Making a more effective Natural Lye Nitrate Solution 💥💥💥

in (Part 2) i filmed my First and 2nd Attempts at this Process. (1) our water we use must be soft water. either rain water or distilled water.(2) use charcoal crush on our base and hard wood ash. batch 1 was about 1 5th or 1/4 of our pot.(3) Batch 1 i boiled for an hour. i learnt thru this process we need to simmer our ash lye. on coals or small amounts of flames. donot stir too much. we don't want too many bubbles losing too much Nitrate to evaporation. i Think 25 - 35 is more than enough and will confirm my results from Batch 2 to see if we have a more superior stronger lye Nitrate. Then we need to let our Pot of Ash Water Lye Sit for a Minimum of 36 hrs.The Reason for This is so that the Nitrates release from Our Wood Ash into Our Water.
During this Time we can move onto Boiling our Amadou in Soft Water (Rain Water or Distilled Water) for 30 mins.Next we Beat, stretch, and knead our Amadou. and Then We can Soak our processed kneaded and stretched amadou for 48hrs. then dry.

Sorry Jason, I’m trying to catch up on videos, haven’t been notified of all my videos, I don’t understand, anyway I’m checking in. Wow what a process. Very impressive sir. Thanks for sharing. Tony.

I am uploading a 7 part video series from start to finish. It has been a great learning experience. I am still experimenting and learning. It has great benefits for other applications.

Just a backyard amateur Dave. Sharing the Knowledge so we can all benefit and grow together. Appreciate you stopping by and your encouraging comments. 👏👏👏👏😊👍

After about two or three hours of boiling with nitrate, I wonder how beneficial a ice water bath with Amadeu and with this change the tinder you’re nitrate becomes soluble in the hot water and crystallizes in cold water

[@Johnhanddrill]

You see I haven’t ever tried this yet

[@jasonedwardledburynewzeala9897]

I Think the longer you Boil the more chance there is of your Nitrate evaporating off. Just a Theory based on observations so far. I never thought of ice water john to do what you said. That sounds interesting brother. Check Out my Cattail Video Uploading today. In this video i have video footage of boiling Batch 1 and 2. Barch 1 for an hour and Batch 2 (34 min and less stirring)

They Key to making an Ash Lye is Using (Soft Water = Rain Water or Distilled Water)

@@jasonedwardledburynewzeala9897 lol I have watched them all yet but it not something I do usually but I’m intrigued by what people are doing and. I must see the whole thing
