Orange Galk II, Take That!
After a recent rxn I found myself confronted with a little more than 1g of Orange Gakk II tainted product. It was brown and very gooie, the more you tried to chop it with a razor blade the more it stuck to the razor. I finally ended up with 5 or 6 gooie balls that I decided to put away for the night.
Next day I was thinking that if I could figure a way to get this chopped up into a powder that, perhaps, it would dry out a little. I decided to mix some salt with it and see if the gakk would stick to the salt and allow me to chop it up some. I knew that if the salt did not work I could always recover the tainted product with an alcohol pull and evaporation. I added an equal amount of salt to the gakked product and noticed immediately that it was not sticking to the razor as bad as before. After a few minutes I realized that I needed more salt so I again added approximately 1 more gram of salt and continued chopping.
I worked on this off and on during the day and was able to get it chopped to a very fine powder. I got the gakked stuff chopped so fine that, when finished, it appeared as if I had a pile of beige salt. I let this set for approximately 5 hours and then dissolved it in Denatured Alcohol, filtered and evaporated.
After scraping the dish I was left with a beige colored product that was not at all sticky. I was able to chop it into a powder, however I did notice that there was a slight, almost waxy deposit left on the razor after chopping. I decided to soak the product in acetone to see if I could get rid of the color. After a 5-minute soak I decanted the acetone, which had taken on an orange color, and dyed the product. To my surprise it was now bleach white and there was no residual sticky or waxy ness left to it at all and it chopped into a very fine, dry powder.
I started this with a little more than one gram and ended up with about 3/4g after all the cleaning; getting the gakk out took a lot of product! I have not tested the end product other than to taste it (I do not smoke, snort or ingest meth) but it has the taste. It does appear to be completely cleaned and free of any gakk at this time.
I’m not sure how or why this worked, perhaps the gakk liked the salt better than the meth, but for whatever reason I was able to recover most of my product which would otherwise have been lost.
I look forward to someone confirming my results and perhaps offering an explanation as to how this works.
