I'm having a similar issue with goo. The goo seems to precipitate at the bottom of the EA, and sort of sticks to itself as I move my beaker with EA around. I am using bridgesii monstrous short form, and I know from experience this is high in mescaline content, so I must be doing something wrong. The outline of my process is below:
1. Mixed approximately 70 ml of water with 7.2 grams of CaOH in a fresh press
2. poured 28.63 grams of dried bridge into CaOH/water solution
3. added approximately 10 ml of water to create a thick mashed potato consistency
4. first pull with EA was with 58.75 grams of EA
5. I then did 7 more pulls with EA at an average of approximately 36 grams of EA
6. The EA pulls took 25 minutes total
7. Added 1.43 grams of citric acid powder to decanted EA/cactus alkaloids
8. used a mag stir on low/medium for 12 minutes
I noticed the goo I described above after around 24 hours. It has now been 72 hours, I decided to filter the EA/goo though a double coffee filter, and the finished product is in the pic shown.
Should I put this goo back into fresh ethyl acetate? or should I put it back in the ethyl acetate it was in previously and simply add more fresh EA to that jar. Just trying to figure out any way salvage what should be a good amount of mescaline
