Naphtha has been a butt!

[StealthyBong]

Hey everyone, I'm still pretty new here and have just been lurking around tell this point. I was wondering if anyone could give me a some pointers on my naphtha technique. I failed my first batch by letting it dissolve back into the naphtha still absorbed in the crystals. I blamed this mess up to a time constraint I had at someones house.

I now have another flat bottomed dish, loaded, and i really don't want to mess this up. So far i have quickly decanted naphtha out and immediately put the dish back in.

Suggestions on making these crystals dry correctly? My current plan is leave it for an hour or two and try dumping the dish again for excess naph. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I would put the jar of crystals upside down in your freezer for for 4-6 hours and then scrape when all of the naphtha has drained off then keep a fan on a medium high setting until crystals are dry. Also finely grind the crystal into powder to make sure you get all the solvent out.
Hope this helps!

Awesome thanks! I was a little hesitant about loosing material by putting it upside down, but honestly at this point anything would be great.

don't worry, you won't.
crystals attach to the glass surface pretty securely and won't come off without a force.
