SWIM's pure water recrystallization didn't work as well as expected, or he scraped too soon.  The part of the dish that he started scraping was dry, tan and waxy, but when he got closer to the other side, he started getting reddish black tar.  He didn't finish scraping because of this, but he was wondering whether the tar could be spread back onto the dish and dried further?  Or whether it would have to be recrystallized in water.  SWIM's going to spread it out quite thin, and if it dries well, it'll probably end up peely and red like breakMYhead's.
