Drying Crystals - STB Tek Question - Should Jars dry upright or inverted?
    #13667924 - 12/21/10 08:51 PM (13 years, 2 months ago)

When drying to produce crystals, is it best to keep the jar upright or inverted/tilted?  Any tips on drying that anyone could give me would be awesome.

This time I'm not going to use a fan, the humidity is down, I'm using cooler temps and I'm inverting the jar for 45 minutes in the freezer after dumping the napth (back into the jars).  I can't think of anything else to do other than ask about how to dry.

Wish me luck.  There are many beings in the universe I would like to meet.

Once crystals have formed on the sides (assuming your freezing the naptha containing jars), I pour the naptha back into the mhrb, and invert them to let the remaining naptha drip out while a fan blows on them.

I do it upside down, but not flat against the surface, so air can circulate up under it. I also point a small fan toward it.

This keeps the condensation from running down in the crystals, which makes drying take forever.

How long do you guys let them dry out for? The first time I did it, I let it dry out for a couple days and it was very difficult to scrape out... the second time I did it, the crystals came right off! and the third time I did it too early and it was a mess.

I didnt know if there was some kind of technique to it.

Also, say you have 4 jars of crystals... could you re-dissolve it all in a small amount of naphtha back into one jar and stick in the freezer again? Seems like it would be easier to get the crystals out of one jar...and most of the time you gotta re-dissolve the stuff you cant scrape out anyway.

Lastly. Would re-dissolving your end product back in naphtha and re-freezing make the crystals any cleaner? or does it need to be re-crystallized?
