with 5 spoonfuls of sodium carbonate? For my science project of papermaking.
Will cooking the said batch for an hour be dangerous for my pot?
Is it safe to cook it at the kitchen?
Should I close the pot when boiling?
Will breathing the steam harm me?
Can I use the pot again after cooking for culinary purposes?
Ps the procedure i'll be doing is to simmer 20g of wood in 1 L water with 5 spoonfuls of sodium carbonate or sada ash or washing soda.
