Baking Gear - sterilization

[NickyE3]

Going to bake my IP sus-a-ton after I get it tested.
What temp does everyone prefer? I have seen many different suggestions (250 to 300*F for 20 to 60 mins)
How much Bacteriostatic Water should I add to about 13.5ml of gear.
Also, I was wanting to add some oil to the gear so the injections wouldn't hurt as bad - what kind of oil is the best for this (Soy oil) ?

I would stick with 200-250, for 10-20 mins.. make sure you preheat the oven.
I prefer to add the oil when im drawing, i just keep a 100ml vial of sterile safflower oil.. but you can use cottonseed or grapeseed as well.

1) Baking will not sterilize the gear

2) Bacteriostatic Water is NOT what you want to add to an oil based solution. NEVER mix oil with water. I have to say it but going forth and messing with the gear is going to cause you more problems. I believe you meant to say Benzyl Alcohol (BA sterilizes the gear). I have no idea how much BA it has in it already and adding it could just add to your injection pain / cause problems. In addition to adding it you need to filter it too…you need to read up on all of this.

3) I prefer grapeseed oil

If you are absolutely worried about sterile gear add 1% BA then filter all of the gear into a new sterile vial.

1% would be .135 ml (you need a slim pin for this and it still will not be that accurate). Then go out and get a .22mu filter and filter the entire solution into a new, clean sterile vial.

If you think the gear is bad then you need to throw it out and get some new gear. Playing with it is not the solution.

If you are thinking of doing this to alleviate the pain then forget it – that is never a good reason to mess with sterile gear. My ass still hurts from Monday’s sust shot and I am enjoying every minute of it – I enjoyed the pain so much more yesterday when I was doing squats.

On another note, hit the chemistry forum and read, read, read. I went through EVERY page in that forum before I even took my first step into home chemistry.

I couldn't have worded it any better myself
