in the middle of a Naptha precipitation from STB tek and instead of crystals it is getting what look like yellowish fibers or filaments. This Naptha has been through a double coffee filter and cotton filter, and no fibers were present in the liquid when it was warm. Any ideas on what these are and how best to get rid of them? The Naptha was pretty clear slightly yellow when added to the freezer, not instead of crystals these strange free floating fibers are everywhere. I'm attaching some photos.

Positive there is spice in there, just unsure of what else. Would like to separate the fats and or fibers from the spice if possible. Any suggestions? Let us declare nature to be legitimate.

So filter out the fibery stuff and re-x that? Or evap and re-x? Let us declare nature to be legitimate. All plants should be declared legal, and all animals for that matter. The notion of illegal plants and animals is obnoxious and ridiculous. — Terence McKenna

I've had similar looking trays. Filter off the Naphtha & save it, there could still be spice in it, you can use it for another extract. Then let the stuff at the bottom of the tray dry, scrape it around and chop it up, keep moving it and letting it dry a bit. I've smoked it like this when dried before and it's been fine for me. You could re-crystallise it (use fresh naphtha) and it should come out whiter Joined at the soul with a pair of headphones

Thanks. Filtering out the fiberous looking floaters and drying them makes them look now like off white crystals. Naptha liquid is evaping to see if anything in there worth keeping. Will post pix shortly. Any suggestions for re-xing? Is Bestine better than Naptha for re-xing? Any good techniques? Let us declare nature to be legitimate.
