Goo to Dried Charcoal

[DisEmboDied]

In the past I made some goo from AC, I let it sit on razor blades for a good few months. When I checked back on it, it had become a dried black powder, and had reduced in size dramatically. When I recrystallized/re-gooed, it had become almost nothing.

Any knowledge to how this had happened?

Thanks

maybe it oxidized or somthing. ive let ACRB goo sit for a month or two and it just stayed goo.

that is bizarre.
i have never heard of anything similar to this happening before.

was it FB or salted?

I've let ACRB goo (FB) sit in an open mason jar for months on end and it is still happily remaining as a goo and certainly not black. It has changed from clear to a slight yellow tint which I think may be a result of oxidation but I don't think that simple oxidation can explain your experience.

I've heard of the formation of black sooty specks in a MHRB re-x. They appeared after heating with a solvent (loctite glue thinner/remover) that smelled like it contained MEK, besides heptane. What solvents/processes have you used?
