mould spores & isopropyl alcohol

Post by greggus »

I use isopropyl as a solvent to dissolve plant based resin glands, I then strain the alcohol & evaporate it, using an air still, which leaves me with the plant oil.
My question is, if I have mould in some of my plant matter then soak it in isopropyl then still it off, will any mould spores be left in the oil, what form would it change to?

Probably yes. But the alcohol will kill them. It will be only dead Material left.
