Shelite/naptha residue?

[Alienteaparty]

howdy! i haven't posted here in a while because iv been rather busy, but iv finally done my first semi successful extraction. the reason why i say semi successful is because my finished product is fluffy yet slightly oily white crystals! but the problem is that iv had a fan blowing air over them for 10+ hours and i can swear the bowl still smells slightly of
shelite/naptha.
iv used the dmt handbook tek with some slight alterations such as soaking the bark rather than boiling it. i also added 100g of extra lye. i also evaporated some of the shelite/naptha with a fan before putting the solution in the freezer.
is there any way of making sure that i have dmt and only dmt in my finished product.

all answers,questions and comments are welcome.
thanks peeps

Oh by the way. the shelite/naptha i was using says its 100% hydrocarbon liquid on the bottle.

Did you try evaporating just the naptha, and seeing if it left a residue?

I hear that solvent can get trapped in the crystals, so often people will re-X with acetone or IPA to get rid of any nasties that hang around.

Scrape, chop, and put into a new container. Give it a bit of time. It SHOULD clear up. I'd loose the fan if you chop up your xtals.

I use heptane to rextalize and it evaps extremely quickly and from what I can tell, completely.

Alien, what did you end up doing? Just chopping it up and waiting for it to evap better?

sorry for the late reply Alex iv been busy and haven't had much time to post lately. and i sort of forgot about this post.
all i did is chop it up and powder it as much as i could with a spoon then put it under the fan again.
im pretty sure the Shellite i use leaves trace amounts of residue. but there is no sent of it after a few hours under the fan.
a little test i did is put a tiny bit of the final product on a toothpick and burnt it. to check the smell. it just smelt like DMT and burnt just like it.

hope this helps.
