What is this in my alcohol extract?
When I make RSO, I do so using 99% Iso alcohol.
When I do th4e first rough filtering of the oil/alcohol mixture, I'm left with a sandy appearing stuff at the bottom of the unfiltered alcohol.
What is this sandlike substance? and should I be doing something with it?

What should you be doing with it? As far as I know, dispose of it. It is the trash of the plant as far as I am concerned. It is the stuff you want to filter out before making the oil, it is not THC.
My opinion anyway.

I agree with GG.
That's airborne grit.
If you give the buds a quick H2O2/H2O wash and then dry before processing, you will see almost none.
And the filtering will go much faster as a result.

I gotta agree, sounds like sediments. Could even be dangerous depending on your processing techniques. Recommend caution
