Not really know what was wrong but step22 look likes the wanted result. Maybe it went gooish because of humidity ? Bufo enjoy dry environment.
step22 will not dissolve in oil spirit, nor water. Should dissolve into ethanol tough.
Try to smoke a bit of step22. If you get quickly nauseous, you got it
Just take your step22 and dry it slowly (< 150 C) for 20 mn (should be hot, but not release smoke), then store it in a box with epsom salt (not mixing both of course).
