Hello Everyone =)
SWIM recently was gifted some spice in fumarate form and after experimenting with dosage and administration decided to convert to freebase. SWIM added .13g of DMT fumarate to roughly an ounce of warm water, dissolved easily and uniformly. A saturated solution of sodium carbonate was made and slowly dropped into the fumarate solution with an eyedropper, resulting in clouding. This solution was placed in the fridge to precipitate for 4 days (a minor spill occurred) and was filtered through a coffee filter. Now SWIM has a problem - there is visible freebase DMT stuck to their coffee filter, and they appears to be very, very fine crystals. Does anyone have some suggestions for recovering these crystals from the coffee filter? SWIM attempted to scrape them off with a butter knife but it proved ineffective.
SWIM also saved the filtered solution and is freezing it in hopes of crashing out more freebase. The glass jar used for precipitation appears to have very little and possibly no freebase DMT stuck to the insides. This container was also placed in the freezer in an uneducated attempt to further the crystallization process (hoping that if the crystals grow larger enough they can be scraped out).
Any thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated,

SWIM also understands that the amount of fumarate used in the conversion is very small and perhaps prohibitive.
update: SWIM's precipitation jar appears to have film partially coating the inside (SWIM's guess is this is frozen sodium carbonate).

If nothing else works, pour acetone through it and let evaporate. Use glass dish where you can scrape them off from. Pouring off the naphtha slowly is just as good as coffee filter IMO, to catch "floaters".
