no, I was referrering to the stage just before it turns resinous.  At that point, it is a "thick liquid" in which the revolting bitterness of the snot-stage has been cooked and evaporated out.  I discovered this while reading an ancient Chavin text ... basically a long time ago somebody was just getting bored and impatient while resinmaking, and wanted to speed things along, so decided to skip the additional cooking and gelcapping stages (back then they used a seed pod for the gelcaps).  By slightly reliquifying the "thick liquid" that was in the author's pot, it turned out that the resultant drink was  quite palatable and remarkably different than the snot it began as many hours earlier.  At that point the ancient text got really interesting, when the author travelled to distant galaxies for several days without any ill-effects, and was even able to commute to his earth-job, and none of his co-workers knew what was going on.
