SWIM has three kinds of gunky stuff, three questions...

1) During freeze precip, ribbons of yellow wax very quickly formed.Is this waxy stuff n-oxide, and can it be smoked safely?
SWIM used blowdrier to evap naphta before putting into freezer.

2)SWIM evaporated his naphta fully, only to end up with oily sticky stuff that just won't dry? What to do with it?

3) SWIM has been cleaning evap trays with acetone, and then he has evaped the acetone. This leaves some light brown gunk? Is it useless, or should SWIM try to melt it in naphta, to see if something pure comes out?
 
Thanks again endlessness. SWIM is most suspicious about the brownish stuff from acetone, maybe that should be melted separately.
