Questions on Acacia Goo

[DisEmboDied]

Any suggestions on how to scrape the goo off of the glass plate? I used a razor blade but it is so sticky that even the blade doesn't work totally.

Also, any suggestions on how to put it in the GVG in this form?

(I evaporated it on a glass baking plate)

Also, how can I further the goo into crystals? (sorry if this question displays a lack of research, my computer is broken and I am currently borrowing one...)

Try a nice sharp chisel. Works wonders on resins and goos of all sorts. You'll end up with a nice bead on the end of the chisel which can then be scraped off with an exacto blade or something similar. :thumb_up:

How long has it dried for? Keep spreading and scraping, and it should turn less liquid/sticky...it's just a matter of time.
If not, try two blades scraping the goo off one another once the goo has stuck to the initial blade...if that makes sense. The same can be done with cards.
It's not perfect, but near enough.
I have done it with Confusa a number of times.
I then load up some of the goo onto a rolled ball of steel wool, then melt that in, being careful to not evaporate (some times I don't bother with this step).
Then I just put the steel wool ball into my Vaporiser wand (da buddah)

Suggestions for going from goo to crystal (or at least less goo) would be a recrystallisation with a more selective solvent (with a propensity for DMT, rather than NMT...I think Heptane/Naptha does, others may have better suggestions), assuming you are talking about confusa.

Best of luck
