making fina Q...

[Nathan]

When filtering, do I ever have two pins in the rubber stopper at the same time? One for equalizing pressure the other for injecting (through the filter) into the sterile vial? OR when Animal says that the other pin should be left in to equalize pressure, he means leave the 18g pin in when re-loading the syringe? Make sense?
It seems to me that I need extra pins - one to keep in vial, one to inject filtered solution, one to draw out solution on following attempts to filter all solution and one at the beginning to draw out 5cc of oil for use at the end.

Please?

OK I think I understand your question. Yes you will need one pin in the sterlie vial to let out the air pressure. Any size will do.

I myself left both the pins in the sterlie vial. The one pin for air pressure and the other for the steril filter. I then used a third pin to draw the oil before switching to the sterile filter. You could use just two pins but I don't like having to touch the stopper and sterile filter to many times.

And yes you'll need a seperate 5cc pin for the flushing oil.

In all you'll need two sryinges and three pins.



Karma is nice!

I like your method, I'll use it next time.

As a Fina newbie I had the same issues yesterday, but somehow, I have it already flowing inside me..

Thanks. Karma for you of course. Is it okay to still have some small pellet bits left when I add the oil to the solution - oh, and I add ALL the oil, right?

Also, once I add the oil, should I let it sit overnight - I've had that recommended. Thanks bro.

ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS I GOT (WHICHI I FOLLOWED), ALL THE PELLETS MUST BE DISOLVED.

AND YES THE OIL MUST BE LEFT OVERNIGHT OR EVEN MORE.

Thanks. Karma for you too. Did you have 3 layers once the oil was added? A goldish one on top, a darker brownish one, then a yellowish smaller one on the very bottom? I swirl it up but the layers never eally separate? Does that sound right?

A little late, but... I just saw the glue at the bottom at a darker brownish, and a clearer liquid at the top.

How are things going with the fina bro? I noticed a big strength increase at my squat, about 60 lbs. even with a cold. Using 75 EOD, and being my first week using FINA.
