Used colemans need cleanup help

Migrated topic.

Hello everyone this is my first post I hope someone can help me. My initial extraction went great. I have some chem knowledge so the ab was accomplished without a problem. My first pull yielded almost white cyrystals using the freez perciptitation method. I cant tell you how happy I was everything went well. I did three or four more pulls and the crystals became increasinly yellowish with deminished returns but that was expected and a rextalization worked just fine. Here is where I ran into problems. When I couldnt get hardly any more out after like four or five pulls I decided to heat my mimosa goo and add warm naptha. I ran out of the good naptha and decided to use colemans. I had used colemans for other ab extractions extracting a different chemical without a problem but I should have known it might be a problemwith dmt. Anyway after basifying the goo and adding the warm colemans I extracted the dmt along with a whole bunch of plant fat (I believe) anyway after freezer precipt the dmt was greenish and oily. I tried rextalizing but it took 2 weeks to xtalize. When it finally did and I scraped it up it was like a waxy greenish substance. I tried smoking and it was extremly harsh. So tonight I thought about it and figured that the dmtis soluble in alcohal right? The oil shouldnt disolve in the polar solvent right? Well all I had was rubbing alc so I disolved whatI could into the solvent and the waxy substance floated on top so i ran it through some coffee filters and now Im just waiting for the alc to evap. Has anyone tried this? Will it work? if not what could I have done to clean this up? Thank you for your time
 
SWIM always uses heated naptha either ronsonol or escort fuel. SWIM has NEVER gotten anything but white, yellow or brown.

SWIM put another vote to throw it out.
 
You normally get almost everything out the first 4 yields anyway. You can get a nice amount after, and I would keep going, but I personally wouldn't go through the trouble if I contaminated it like that for that little. Sorry if I couldn't help though.
