VM&P Naptha leave a residue?

I usually get my Q&A for this sort of thing from Nexus forums, but their log-in is proving to only work when I am casually searching the site and not when i need a quick question answered. SWIM is using a VM&P naptha based extract for MHRB. SWIM used this technique a few months back with three pulls from the same 100grams MHRB with no complications and definitely no complaints! This time around the technique worked fine on the first pull where the naptha was separated from root bark/lime mixture, placed into the 9x9 baking dish and placed in the freezer over night. The next morning the dish is speckled with white spots so the remaining naptha was poured back into the mixture and the dish was left to drip dry-after that the crystals were scraped up and everything is ready for another pull. The second pull though SWIM had poured off most the naptha but left a thin layer to maybe evap in the freezer, but the next morning was left with a thin white layer of what looks to be a layer of solid crystals rather than the blotchy spots of them-with no liquid naptha in sight-bone dry. So after a long description of how SWIM got to this point my questions is this- Are these good crystals or is this a mixture of crystals and maybe some residue from the ace brand vm&p naptha?
thanks in advance- any input will be a great help.

VM&P naphtha doesn't leave any residual chemicals behind after evaporating. There may be some naphtha lodged in the crystals so it would be a good idea to let the crystals fully dry out overnight.

Thats not true in every case. It depends on what brand it is. Its easy to test though. Just evaporate some naphtha in a dish and see if anything gets left behind.

Well, SWIM poured a good cup and a half to two cups in a large stainless steel bowl and let that sit all day yesterday. The only residue found was a thin ring of what looked to be dust that had fallen in the naptha while it set in the corner of the kitchen.
So, first, thanks much for the suggestions and secondly SWIM is going to just collect the small mountain from that pull and keep it separate from the rest. I will give it a try here soon and definitely report back.

I do this, but isn't VM&P naphtha a specific brand?

It isnt. The brand name will be something like klean strip or crown(never get crown though).

Always check MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) Via google
Always perform a small evaporation test on glass and if it does leave residue
DO NOT USE IT

Sometimes instead of crystallizing immediately, the spice will form this oily substance. Sometimes you can get it to crystallize, sometimes it will remain oily if it is too impure.
Not from the naphtha at all.

I had a thread about this happening to my extraction as well. Infact alot of people shared similar concerns about their DMT turning into goo after crystals formed. I believe this to be due to the heat/humidity of the summer months. I gave up on growing crystals and opted to just apply the goo to some leaf material. Its worked just fine so far.
