hello and welcome to the nexus

just try to find a small glass dish, you dont need anything huge really

combine all your small 50ml pulls into one dish make it easier

just make sure you can fit the naphtha in there with no worries of over flowing
it will all evaporate down to a smaller size on the bottom of the dish

thats all buddy. good luck to you and god bless

:hugs:

i use mermelade mason jars for freeze precipitation and pyrex dishes for evaporation.

when evaporating naphta is better to do it on a large dish and for precipitation just a glass bottle with a lid, preferably one you can fit your hand inside to scrap the crystals out.

I disagree wesker, a pyrex glass dish with a nice surface area is what you want for a freeze precip. This is for two reasons -

1. You can evaporate your naphtha down with a fan much easier with a dish than a jar.

2. It is so much easier to scrape a dish to obtain your crystals, rather than have to put your hand into a jar which may make it difficult to scrape those last bits up.

Just get a pyrex glass dish and a razor blade, you can't go wrong.

Just like that one will be fine.
