I ordered 1 kilogram kit from TGRC that consisted of 4 reagents. I added the 4 reagents into a 5l flask at room temperatures. I then used a over head stirrer to homogenize the solution. After about 5 minutes i used my 5l heating mantle with 2 different temperature measuring devices to raise the temp to 79 celsius for 6 hours with constant agitation. After the 6 hours i let my solution cool to 60 celsius. I then agitated the 5l flask full of solution and poured into a clean ample sized container. I then added 5 liters of very salty water (that had no salt settling at the bottom but looked very salty) to the solution. I added this very slowly as to allow my oily solution to seperate ontop of the dense salt water. I then used a 100ml syringe to extract all of the oil. I put the oil in a large silicon container and allow the oil to crystalized and dry out. Any oil i could not extract ended up drying and floating ontop the salt water and i was able to get this crystal but it did have some salt in the crystal. I obtained 1200 grams from the 1000 gram kit.

Congrats bro! Were you able to get solid product in the end or was it still oily?
Also would you mind providing the full write-up for the synthesis you followed if you have?

Do u have to add the salty solution, why i ask because i never heard that step nor u didn't do it with ice to get the final product
Ice is used so that crystallization is instantaneous. But you can extract the product in the form of oil and crystallize it after
