any way to fix prop that has crashed?

like 5ml, oil based, stored at room temp in the dark.

has crystals all over the sides /bottom, looks cool but thats about it lol
 
yeah put the vial in a hot water bath... u guys remember ur chemistry right, solubility increases with temperature, heat it up, it'll go back into solution. Crashing out means it got too cold at one point... as soon as some crystals appear, they act as a seeding point for the rest of the compound to recrystallize at. Crystals are stable so they'll stay that way even at the same temp that they'd normally be dissolved at, need to heat it up to get them back in solution.
 
kk thanks guys.

what temp you thinking like 100 or more?

cuz if i gotta boil water or something ill vent it with a pin.

Ive heard of gear crashing like getting really cold but my room only gets like 60 at the coldest? oh well

Uhm, guess u are talking F, i am used to Celsius, lol... just start with the hottest water that'll come out of the sink and see how that works. I'd try microwaving some water in a mug before u try boiling.
