Yes, it's perfect! Just check periodically between the 2 and 3 hour marks. Some of the insoluble cuts from the acetone wash may begin to create a burning smell as they deteriorate. If this happens, remove from heat and continue to just let air dry. But, this will rarely be the case.
Oh, and if by chance it does happen, the burnt smell will disappear within 5-6 hours or so, not compromising the blow at all, considering it needs to be at well over 350 degrees f. to decompose.
Enjoy, Le Junk

Sorry, but I'm on vacation right now and will be thru next week. I'll try and post some post-result crystal photos when I return.

P.S. I will say they're more reminiscent of a pearlescent powder than just plain crystals. Something for you to think about in the meantime...........

Actually it is hydrochloride, but the end result (with very few exceptions), has always been a mix of diamond white crystals amongst a pearlescent white, extremely fluffy (like MDMA powder), powder.
Beautiful, but not entirely crystals. This can either be due to a hurried drying process (not allowing the crystals to stay inside of their coffee filter paper to dry over the full 48 hours), or the presence of a left behind cut that was also insoluble in the acetone wash.
Either way, the end result.......................outstanding!
