						Hello all I need some help converting GBL into THICK GHB.  I tried it a while ago and did something wrong.  I used baking soda instead of ACS NaOH and ended up with 2 distinct layers.  Top was fairly clear and the bottom was milky.  It's supposed to be totally clear right?PH stayed around 8 - 8.5. It's supposed to be totally clear right?  Any help or ideas of what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated.  Oh, the GBL is NOT ONCE REMOVED.  I get it from a chemical company the msds says 99% GBL. thanks, sally

						Okay, Now I really feel like an idiot.  After taking a closer look at the label on my GBL I've found that it not only contains GBL but N-Methyl -2-pyrrolidone as well.  I guess this explains a lot of the trouble I've been having with converting to GHB.  Can anyone help me?  Can the N-Methyl... be removed or should I find a new GBL source.  I would really appreciate any help. Thanks, Sally
