Would there bee any advantage to using Xylene as opposed to Acetone?
Probably not ;D . I was just wondering if it would work. If I had something to recrystalise, i would probably try it, and see if there are any differences vs. a tone re-x. Maybe the crystals would be bigger/smaller/different shapes? Maybe not..

Depends on what contaminants are in with the meth. There are situations where using xylene or tolly will provide an advantage, and this is particularly true when recrystallizing pseudo HCl.
