ok so my pet rabbit did 4 bathes following Lucidlemonade's sunflower oil tek(vinegar,lye,sunflower oil) and the first two arent complete. My rabbit got impatiant and istead of completing the last step 3 times only did it once (blow drying ,followed by fan drying). the end result was a little more wet-gummy than desired. He placed the gummy mesc on a plate heated it with a blow dryer, spread it as thin as possible and is fan evaping now-however it is taking forever(some spots are thick too).It is drying but very slowly, its been about 13 hrs now. now My questions are:

Would it be better to:
A: add this gummy mesc to a little warm vinegar , cook it down and re evap, 3 times this time
B: wait it out , maybe leave it under the fan for 2 days or so
C: How else could the lil bunny re-x-talize's this

Also, Can Bunny mix the two batches together when she recrystalize's and if option A is used- How much vinegar/does the amount matter?

on a better note- the last two batches of 100g (ea.) icarro verde yielded a total 3.3g's (alot more than was expected) of slightly dark tan waxy nice'ness, my buny hasnt tasted it yet but is saving it for a camping trip to go on with some friends, she says it has the same smell that you get whil'st brewing pedro tea. PLEASE help this bunny get the rest of her goodies finished, thanks all.

it might.
i'd bet that too much acid was used, unreacted acetic acid which is hygroscopic

Hygroscopy is the ability of a substance to attract and hold water molecules from the surrounding environment. This is achieved through either absorption or adsorption with the absorbing or adsorbing material becoming physically 'changed,' somewhat, by an increase in volume, stickiness, or other physical characteristic of the material, as water molecules become 'suspended' between the material's molecules in the process. While some similar forces are at work here, it is different from capillary attraction, a process where glass or other 'solid' substances attract water, but are not changed in the process (for example, water molecules becoming suspended between the glass molecules).
Hygroscopic substances include sugar, caramel, honey, glycerol, ethanol, methanol, diesel fuel, sulfuric acid, methamphetamine, many salts (including table salt), and a huge variety of other substances.
