first attempt extracting

So I was using the Q21Q21 lime tek to extract with confusa, and got through most the steps. Precipitation was happening, and I think I did everything right so far. When took out to pour off the solvent, there seemed to be bits of fluid that doesn't drain almost like condensation. When I stuck it under a fan for further drying, the very small bits of crystals seemed to dissolve back into the liquid that i couldn't drain. Do I need to leave upside down longer for further drainage or does this mean I don't have a sufficient drying method? All I have right now is an overhead ceiling fan. If that's the case I will go out and buy one real quick before the next pulls come out of the freezer.

I'd also like to thank you guys on this board for providing an enormous amount of info about pretty much everything I had questions for. I spent the last month researching confusa since there was lots of mixed answers about extracting from it. It seems the stuff drying now is only white fluffy crystals forming. As far as i can see, there's no yellow goo cannibalizing my crystals. I attached a photo of my very first pull ever drying. Thanks again for all the help!

I used 50g of confusa root bark with 3 more pulls to go. Upon scraping I did have that filmy goo on the bottom and a bit got caught up in it. I did manage to get some crystals out without the goo, but it's kind of difficult. This type of bark is all I could get my hands on, so I'll have to make it work. Maybe I'll have a better chance with next pulls. I still have about 200g of bark left, so I'll be able to get at least a decent bit out hopefully. More work, but I think it'll be worth it. I'm about to scrape my second pull in about an hour.
