Update: EA was decanted off and saved and fresh EA was added to the goo. It just made the goo turn to a paste, almost like a glue, that is very sticky. Also, the walls of the jar left a trail along where the EA was poured before low decant wherever the goo touched during pouring. Anyone who gets the dreaded goo, I would recommend not pouring off the green EA at all, but only using a pipette or baster or syringe as the goo that touched the walls here was very sticky and will now be extremely difficult to remove from the walls of the jar. The spoon I used to try and force the paste/goo into solution also now has a ton of this paste/goo stuck to it that seems as though it will be very hard to remove. The goo/paste is not going into solution despite stirring, swirling and even shaking the jar. The trail on the inside of the jar is also not going into solution but seems hardened/stuck to the walls of the jar.

Any advice? As of now my next step will be: decant this fresh EA and add to previous green EA now in separate jar. Add fresh EA again to goo/paste and again try and stir/agitate into solution. SO far, this has been a mess. Wish I had started with much less cactus for my first run.
