Hi so this is a bit of a weird one. I decided I wanted to try kalk to see if I like it, so I made a small batch of calcium hydroxide with some calcium chloride and sodium hydroxide. Figuring I can buy some kalk if I actually wanted to start using it (I know kalk is cheap as it is but I like making things myself for the fun of it lol. And I only needed a small amount).
I made the batch about 2 weeks ago, let it settle and poured off the water on top. I thought I could let the rest evaporate but the crusty film it forms seems to stop all the evaporation.
Would I be able to dry it out in the oven? If so what temperature would be ok to use?
I don’t have a desiccator handy so I was wondering what other options I have.
