Hello guys, i live in a humaid area, in a costal city. in July like now the temperature is 30c and humidity is 70%.
i pulled last night and I put the tray with naphtha in the freezer, today the substance crystallized, and I took the tray out of the freezer and poured off the naphtha. But right away, water vapor condensed on the tray and the crystals dissolved in the water. Another strange thing that happened is that the naphtha turned white! note that i worked with distilled water and white vinegar.
how can i solve the humidity problem? Maybe i should seal the tray in a vaccum plastic bag and then wait after getting it out of the freezer until it warms up to the room temperature??

The condensed water in theory should not significantly dissolve freebase dmt, it's more likely the naphtha residue in the hot weather. What I would try is leaving the dish in the freezer for 48h undisturbed for a better chance of crystals sticking to the container sides. Then when removing from freezer quickly pour off the naphtha and let it drain well, then immediately place the dish in front of a strong fan. Some water will condense but it will evaporate in an hour or so under the fan. if you place your dish tilted the water droplets will accumulate to one side and you can even wick it away with a tissue if you want to get rid of it faster.

Even if the crystals still dissolve and/or get mixed up with water, you should dry it with a fan regardless, you might endup with goo but that's totally fine.

And about the naphtha turning white do you mean it got cloudy? And when did that happen?
