re-xing fatty clumps w/ shards of crystal

[Dwhitty76]

Last night swim was letting some saturated naptha evap untill the solvent was even more saturated and then was gonna move the baking dish to the freezer to precipitate, the rest of the way.

Turns out swim fell asleep and when he woke up the dish was completely evaporated w/ little crystals (they looked a little like rice)...so he just put it in the freezer to keep, untill the morning when he was awake enough to scrape up the goodies.

His question is... since he got some pretty nice crystals, that are pretty white and he also got clumps of fatty goo....he was wondering if he should dissolve it all together when he re-x's.... or since the crystals look pretty good...should he dissolve just the fatty clumps and re-x them by themselves?

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

My friend would just recrystal the lot.
If the crystals are easily seperable though, it might be worth it to pull them out and compare to the cleaned up stuff.

yeah, their easily seperable.

The shards are dry and crystally but the clumps are taking longer to dry.

He just finished a second pull and the crystals are not as defined and white as the first pull....so he figures he'll re-x the second and 3rd pulls w/ the clumps and just keep the nice crystals as is.
