Very cloudy distillate

After sending distillate through a chromatography process and then evaporating at temperatures between 60-80C, I am left with material that looks extremely cloudy.

Anyone know what is causing this or how I can prevent it from happening? Thanks!

Didn’t see that before but definitely do now. Thanks for that.

Can you explain process in more detail? Did you go from flower to chroma?

Received distillate from client, dissolved and ran through chroma then rotovapped.

Wutt… hit that with a silica60 plug and dilute your oil in hexane. Run that .

Y’all got me concerned now. I will try the silica plug @Thedistillator and let you know how it looks. Thanks All

I’m a lil new to distilate but I’m gonna give you crash course…

If it doesn’t look like either 2 these pics then walk away unless your mad scientist like some these guys here.
