After leaving my naphtha in the freezer for 2 days at -6, there was minimal crystallization. The solvent was very cloudy due to heavy evaporation. I decided to pour off the naphtha to see what i could see. some white circular spots had formed but not much else. I set the empty dish to dry in the freezer and went back to look at my decanted naphtha. Imagine my surprise when i found that the new glass dish had a large amount of white residue forming wherever the naphtha was touching. I threw this dish in the freezer as well to see if crystals would form for me. My only guess is that the original dish did not facilitate crystallization well? has anyone experienced something like this or know why it happened?

What kind of bark/material did you use?

Was the evaporation done before you put the jar in the freezer?

Was the jar sealed when you put it in the freezer?

How many grams of bark/material did you use? What was the total volume of your pulls?

You may need to evap the naphtha further, using a safe method from the Health & Safety.

NEVER evaporate or warm up a flammable solvent next to a fire source or equipment that might generate sparks. For warming up solvents, boil some water separately, turn off the fire/heat source and only then add the solvent to a container and submerge the bottom of the container in the recently warmed water. Have the container with the warming-up solvent opened or with a very loose top, otherwise pressure might be generated and it can explode

Also, in the future, it helps to ask questions in a specific way to get helpful responses. Check out this thread on asking questions.

ACRB, evaporated before freezer, dish was sealed, 100g of bark was used, this is one pull of several, not sure of volume.
