Though relatively simple, the conversion of DMT fumarate to freebase tends to pose some difficulties for achieving a pure and well crystallized product. Decanting from material containing magnesium sulfate powder will often carry particulates that are not easily filtered. Evaporation can take an excessive amount of time to achieve a solid product and often doesn't result in a very solid product.  These techniques are intended to remedy such problems.

# Spread the moistened mixture evenly and thinly across the dish.
#* ''the better spread out it is, the more likely the product will adhere to the glass, preventing it from being washed away.''
# Add a minimal amount of water to dissolve the sodium carbonate and salt byproduct by tilting the dish to ensure adequate contact.
# When all visible sodium carbonate grains have been dissolved and all particulates settled, carefully decant the water into a collection vessel.
# Repeat the washing process once more with a smaller amount of water to wash off any leftover solutes.
#* ''the collected washes may yet contain actives, so save the washes to reuse or otherwise extract from.''
#  Use a razor blade to spread the oily product thinly and firmly across the dish in cross-hatched fashion.
# When the oil thickens to a pasty consistency, use a lab spatula repeatedly scrape up and and spread out the product until it thickens noticeably more.
# Spread the product thinly across the dish and allow to harden to a clay-like consistency.
# Scrape up and mold to the desired form and density to collected.
# Store in a cool, dark place in a sealed container, preferably protected from moisture and oxygen, and handle with care and sincerity.

# Allot adequate time and stirring for complete reaction.
# Mix in anhydrous magnesium sulfate until material is thoroughly dry.
# Prepare a small THP by cutting the bottom off a small HDPE bottle, stuffing cotton balls in the neck, inverting it and suspending it over a glass receiving vessel.
# Empty the material into THP and pour anhydrous acetone through the material into the collection vessel.
# If particulates leak through the filter, pour the acetone back into THP and repeat until no more leakage occurs and until satisfied with the level of saturation as indicated by the color of the solution.
# Pour acetone into an evaporation dish
# Continue to pull with acetone until material is apparently exhausted as indicated by a lack of coloration.
#* ''the material can be left in THP and stored as such to be reused without removing the old material or filter.''
# Evaporate acetone in a food dehydrator below 100F until sparse droplets of liquid remain.
#* ''evaporation and crystallization can be accomplished simply by leaving the dish in a dry area for a few days, foregoing this step and those following.''
#* ''adding a small amount of acetone and even heptane when the liquid has reduced to a small puddle may hasten the evaporation process''
#  Use a razor blade to spread the oily product thinly and firmly across the dish in cross-hatched fashion.
#* ''adding minute amounts of acetone drop-wise may hasten the process.''
# When the oil thickens to a pasty consistency, use a lab spatula repeatedly scrape up and and spread out the product until it thickens noticeably more.
# Spread the product thinly across the dish and allow to harden to a clay-like consistency.
# Scrape up and mold to the desired form and density to collected.
