You said "lighter fuel," do you mean zippo fluid? If you are using something like that instead of pure naphtha, that *might* explain the problem. Go get Ace brand VM&P naphtha. The fuel preparations are not very useful as solvents, especially if evaporating. You can redissolve your goo in the pure naphtha, then when a small puddle of oily stuff forms in the bottom of the jar, suck it out with a buret and discard it. Then try freeze precipitation or evaporate the solution again, and you should be left with nice clean DMT.
