While extracting I have noticed that the naptha is becoming cloudy once put into the root bark mixture. I am extracting using a crock-pot and I was wondering if the naptha could be stripping the paint off the inside of the crock-pot. I wouldn't want paint going into the mixture for obvious health issues. The sides of the crock-pot are very hot, so could the naptha be reaching a temperature that makes it cloudy? thanks for any advice.
 
I personally am against any heat+naptha. I seen swim get in a hurry and use a space heater to evap. Unfortunately, it was warm enough that his crystals vaporized right along with his naptha! IMO the white color either means it's holding a hell of alot of freebase, the heat made it pick up something you don't want like you said, or it could just be some shi@#y naptha.
 
If the naphtha is cloudy its over saturated and crystals start falling out. Usually a solvent doesn't become over saturated by itself. You need to cool it first.
So if the cloudyness started to form by itself I suspect something else is going on here
 
Does the Naphtha instantly turn cloudy or does it only do that after a few hours of agitating it?

After ten hours or so my solutions get really cloudy and this tells me that they are ready to freeze but even after the first few hours I can notice it getting a bit foggy.
