Doing MHRB Tek no crystal at all after freeze precip

I done a Tek off youtube and used 40g MHRB 10g lye, 400 ml de-ionized water, 50 - 100 ml pulls naptha(swan lighter fluid) left residue too .
I mixed the root bark, with the water shook in around a little let sit for about an hour then added the lye. I shook that a little and put it into a water bath. I could see that there was lumps on the bottom so i stirred it until there was no longer lumps. I placed it back in the water bath. I then added naptha and shook it quite a lot. I then placed it back in the water bath and an emulsion had formed and it wasn't releasing the naptha. I added rock salt around a tea spoon worth and around another 15g of lye. It got quite hot when the lye was added so i waited to stir it. Once that vessel cooled down i gave it a stir to make sure the lye mixed probably i also gave a little shake. Left in water bath for another 2 hours and half of the naptha had cleared, left for another hour and the same amount of naptha was there. I proceeded to add 15g more lye and around 5 g of rock salts. Stirred and shook. Left on water bath for another 1 hour and half and all the naptha had cleared. I then proceeded to pull while in the water and got almost all naptha from the top and placed in a pyrex dish covered it in cling film so it was airtight and left it for 16 hours in the freezer. 16 hours later i came to check and there was barely any crystal really small amount and some orange gunk. I left this to dry off upside down in a room at 20 degrees for 30 mins then fanned off for another 20-60 mins. I then scraped up what was there which was only around 30 mg maybe even less such a small amount. I thought maybe i didn't mix the naptha well enough so i added more naptha around 75ml and shook it a couple of times each time letting it surface. On the last naptha surface however it was brown. I pulled the naptha that was there and put into a separate container. I kept pulling the naptha from one container to another each time getting aqueous layer material at the bottom of the container used. I kept doing this until i was getting no more aqueous layer at bottom of container. I then proceeded to put what was left into a pyrex dish and freeze pre cip. Come down this morning after 14 hours and nothing only orange gunk again. Anyone know what could be the issue here? Is it the naptha, technique or junk bark?
Also with my last 50g from the same batch i only got 60mg and it seemed to not pull anymore i used DMT for the masses extraction for that one.
Does anyone know of a way i can maybe get more to be pulled. I really don't want to give up on this bark

I'm not expert, as I am new at doing this myself. But I'm pretty sure your bark to lye ratio is way off.
You should have used about 40g lye. If I'm mistaken I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than myself will chime in
*edit*
I should have finished reading the whole thing. I see you did add 40g lye, but in steps. Hmmmmm
So how much naptha did you use in total after all was added?

Seems like you are not letting it sit long enough with the base and solvent On my first pull, I like to let it sit at 75 F for at least 24 hrs... On top of a water heater is nice place Gently agitating every few hours... Don't shake just roll slowly
Not sure about the rock salt... Lye is fine... Eh
How cold is your freezer? Might not be getting it cold enough
Second pull... Put the Naph back in and let set warm for 48 hrs
Peace

I compensated for the lye after i had an emulsion but even my first extraction pulled hardly anything using different technique. Can DMT look like wet toilet paper after freeze precip because i had wet toilet paper looking white stuff rolling around in the naptha i thought maybe it might be non formed DMT so i have saved what i could from the naptha and left it up side down in the dish. I will fan it off then post a picture of what is left
