Orange junk precipitating out from the solvent?

Hey guys.

I've been doing pull after pull on 259 grams of MHRB with q21q21's naphtha tek, and to my delight more keeps getting pulled! However, the most recent pull precipitated some orange patches, and I was just wondering what the deal is? All the crystals previous had been totally white, and I didn't do anything different, except perhaps putting a slight excess of naphtha... has anyone pulled orange stuff out using naphtha and q21q21's before? Is it anything to worry about? If I wanted to clean it up, would I just redissolve in warm naphtha and re-crystalize?

Thankks!
 
would just doing so many repeated pulls do this, or would there be some other factor responsible? Like maybe getting the solvent too hot? I pre-warmed the naphtha and then put the container in a hot-water bath as well just to see what difference it made and it hadn't been any different until this pull.

I'm not in anyway worried, just curious.
 
the heat could have been responsible. The solvents gets a little better at pulling things, so it may have allowed some gunkiness to get picked up. Now that its cooling the gunk is preciping.
