I know this has been an ongoing topic for years, but I really need some input. I've read and read about possible reasons for yielding goo and possible solutions. I need advice though.

I started on a kg extraction from Acrb. I back salted my enriched naphtha to remove impurities. When I was doing my pulls into a mason jar, I noticed an oily orange substance pooling on the bottom. I should have decanted my naphtha away from it. When I froze my naps, a nice white layer of fluffy powder settled on top of the oily substance.

I wanted bigger crystals though, so I heated the solution, shook up the jar, and proceeded to evaporate some naptha while adding more pulls. My intention was to pour off the enriched naptha after the oily substance settled out again to ensure that I could isolate my crystals from the goo. Unfortunately the goo trapped my crystals when I shook it the container. so now I'm left with a pool of yellow honey looking substance at the bottom of a jar and the decision of what technique to use to attempt to rescue the crystals. Should I re-extract the solution with another mini-a/b? Does anyone think the zinc tek would help me out in this? Some claim that a zinc solution will convert dmt n oxide into nn dmt, but others think this is bullshit. I'm leaning towards the latter.

Anyone have experience with rescuing crystals from their goo? What techniques have worked the best for you? Yes I'm going to try to do whatever I can do to get crystals even though the goo is perfectly smokable. i want to make a hobby of crystal formation,

I would maybe stick it into a warm water bath, redissolve, let it settle down and cool a bit, then decant or pull out with a syringe.

Do a acid to base hybrid salt extraction. If you use this tek and do it right you will get no more goo. If you want to fix your goo do a re-x using naphtha. Put that goo in a glass jar and Redisolve it in 50 ml of naphtha buy heating it with warm/hot water. put it in the freezer for a hour and then poor out the naphtha which is filled with clean dmt. The goo will be on the bottom of the jar and its nothing you want to keep.

Try doing a de-fat before basifying the solution.

The oil from AC drops out at a higher temperature than the spice. You can crudely separate by heating, cooling and separating. Do that one or more times. The more times, the cleaner it gets.
