Hello guys,

I just freeze precipitated some hexane and was left with some nice round crystal formations on the sides of the test tube. They melt immediately even after I try to dry the hexane and scrape them up.

I was thinking of pouring some acetone into the tube and washing out all the liquid and letting it evaporate so its easier to handle the product. Good idea?

Will acetone also help goo dry faster? I was thinking if there was solvent trapped between the goo, the acetone will dissolve everything and leave a purer product behind (that would dry faster.) I know you guys are sick of the goo questions and all so sorry lol.

EDIT: if this works i will post pictures and steps i took!

we are sick of a different kind of goo question

imo this should be resolved just by placing a fan over it.

evap harder, and the x-tals shall reform

...GOO...

alright! ill give that a try tomorrow.

i actually enjoy chemistry as much as dmt so the whole process of getting crystals is just a different brain stimulating hobby for me.
