ON NO Its goo!

[fun_guy88]

OK so I have done my batch and put the finial freze partic jug poured off most of the naptha and poured the rest into a pyrex dish then set it on the window seal in front of a fan and let it evaopate off'


4 hours later i got to check on it and do to the 95 degree heat and sunlight it has melted into goo.

Now how do I fix this can i scrap up the goo put it back in naptha and freeze and try again or what?

N e tips would be amazing!

THE GOO!!!

FROM FAQ:

How does one recrystallize?

1- Boil some water. Turn off the fire.

2- Add your impure spice to a shotglass (weigh it before to know the amount).

3- Add around 20-30ml of naphtha/heptane/hexane per gram of impure spice to the shotglass.

4- submerge the bottom of the glass in the water. Leave it standing and/or stir it around a little bit. Most of the spice should redissolve in a few minutes, but probably a layer of goo will stay on the bottom.

5-Decant or pippette your naphtha away from the goo, put this naphtha in a clean container, close it, and into the freezer overnight for freeze precipitation.

Its possible small amount of spice is still in the goo, so you can add another 5 or 10ml to the shotglass with the goo to pick up the last bits of dmt. This second pull will be more impure as it will pick some oils up, so freeze precipitate it separately. The goo can then be discarded

If one doesnt have a scale or for some reason cant weigh the spice, warm up a quantity of naphtha in a shotglass without the dmt and slowly add small quantities of the warm naphtha to the container containing dmt while stiring, until most dmt dissolved but a bottom layer of goo remains. Then follow step 5.

Yeah this is a common problem in the summertime.

You might just want to evap the naptha and scrape the spice. Once it's evapped put it in the fridge to cool down and scrape.

I'm sure you dont want to buy a mini fridge or some kind of AC to control the temperature of your environment. So evaporation looks like your best bet. Extract in the winter time

Maybe putting the dish in front of the AC blowing cold air but then I have naptha fumes in my house and possible blow the place up so I dont know if that would work.

You may want to consider dissolving the goo into a Naphtha solution as described in this thread above, and then performing a Sodium Carbonate wash (Soda Crystals/Washing Soda). This will get rid of any gunk still in the mixture.

A Soda Crystal wash involves a mere pinch of Sodium Carbonate in 50ml water which is mixed in with the naphtha-goo solution and shaken vigourously. The contents will quickly seperate out and the polar layer (Water/SodiumCarbonate) should be sperated from the non-polar solvent layer (Naphtha) a this point. Then using just water, repeat washing process two more times.

EDIT: I am also a beginner, so bear that in mind before you heed my advice.
