What temp should I aim for and watch out and what’s the lowest
Warm enough to melt it and lower the viscosity so you can stir it. 65C min imo
If you use water as @YeahBet suggested, that gives you a hard 100C upper limit.
Anywhere in there will get the job done, warmer will get it done faster, and also hasten oxidation (the darkening @YeahBet notes).
Without vacuum you’re unlikely to be particularly happy with the outcome.
If you poke around in the other threads on the subject you should notice “over night in the vac oven” suggested as a solution.
Pretty sure there are directions for performing the “de-stink” in a microwave too.

That might not be an unreasonable response…

Sorry, I was just joshing. Water washing sounds reasonable? I remember reading across that thread, but had forgotten about it
Before you mess around with heating it, pour it out like a slab on parchment in a 1” flat pan like you see people make slabs. Fold the corners to keep it on the paper. Surface area, heat, and patience are going to be your friend here.
There’s definitely way better ways to do this but require chemicals and/or equipment and to be honest your posts don’t tell me that’s a good option for you.

Is that what all this is so water bath and vaccum for the best results without distilling it
Basically huge water bath in Pyrex baking dish or should I use those things to make pancakes heated things
You could just do a big Pyrex dish on basically any steady heat source. As long as you can keep it around 200 degrees you should be fine. You’re not going to very high temps so whatever you have will work. I think you’re talking about a griddle or something but I don’t know about that.
If you can pour it out in the glass so it’s just a thin film like a millimeter deep it’ll let go of the stink faster. Without equipment/solvents your options are pretty limited but it should help. Some stuff won’t evap off on its own though so don’t expect a miracle depending on what’s in your oil.

What other threads show de stink techniques for distillate? Trying to read around but running co2 crude on a WFE and trying to get the smell as gone as possible didn’t do a terp fraction in co2 extraction so gonna try to do on WFE for first pass but any more suggestions or threads on stuff already made into distillate or parameters to rerun and remove?
Search query was simply distillate + smell. IIRC it yielded. it’s up thread as a clickable link.
Distilling again is the right response as you’ve got the tools.
Second+pass+Parameters might yield, but I’m too lazy to go look (and covered in &^*^$ hash),

Wiped films pull mixed fractions. You won’t be able to clean it up or male it as good as spd. Get a quality spd to cleanup your wiper work. Common practice now adays. Everyone is sick of the foot smelling distillate from wipers.

So wipers just smear?
