Thanks for making this video - I hope you'll make more. Could you have rinsed the grinder with the methanol to recover a bit more, or would that damage the plastic? Was thinking a simple distillation could recover the methanol, but the solids would be hard to remove from a flask. How about using a glass desicator instead of a flask?
Thanks for sharing this nice, easy extraction. Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you! Same to you!

does your stir plate have heat and temp controls?
It does. It wasn’t too expensive either
Can you hook me with a link. Every one i find on amazon have temp controll issues
@@PrestonImpx I wouldn't mind info on an affordable hotplate with stirring either.
Any reason not to distil off most methanol first?
What is the balanced equation for this reaction?
ASA + Methanol -> Metyhl Salicylate + Methyl Acetate
