Hello,

What exactly is it about the 3rd step that is causing trouble for you? Give as much detail as needed so people reading can understand what the issues you're facing are, and can respond in a helpful way.

I have followed till the 4th step I got a gooey consistent but for the next step I need to dissolve it into anhydrous citric acid. but nothing dissolves.

I have attached the pictures where the crude LSA extract has condensed to a gooey form. I don't know if this is the final crude LSA and I also tried this once but It is not dissolvable into citric acid solution

It is said evaporate till dryness but this is a gooey extract. Will this turn dry in a while....but it says it doesn't take long at the same time. Help needed

I haven't done this tek. But from the description:

Mix in a glass 100 ml distilled water and a pinch of citric acid (pH 3-5). Add to the dry crude LSA extract and mix well for 10 minutes. Not everything will dissolve. Filter out the solids. There should now be 100 ml of aqueous LSA citrate.

Are you trying to dissolve it in water with a pinch of citric acid? If so, as you can see, the tek says not everything will dissolve and you should filter it to discard what remains solid.

Yeah I followed the steps but nothing concrete.

What's the issue exactly? The 5th step says not everything will dissolve, and not everything is dissolving. You should filter it and continue performing the tek on the liquid.
