tried the noman's tek for my first time. had small little collections start within a couple hours in the freezer but nothing more has happened. still a large amount of naptha. guess there's too much naptha and needs to be evaporated a bit

only used about 30mL naptha for every gram of powdered bark and i did use 1.5x the amount of water for the powdered bark. i know that being my first time, i have to be very patient. it just seems like there has to be a best/favorite tek in this forum and it would probably be based upon ease/yield and i would love all the opinions i can get. i'm not giving up on my first batch. gonna set it out with (some sort of filtering) medium on top of it and let it evaporate a little. any suggestions/pointers on how long to evap? i do have some pics (of what the layer on top of the mixing jar looks like and what the 4 pulls looked like if that would help diagnose my blunder). looking forward to trying another tek or way, perhaps, next time. thanks again for the advice...
