Too much sediment in fina?

Wow, shit like that worries me. He couldn't have done that correctly.

Dude it needs to be filtered, it does not look like the process is complete yet.

it looks horrible. Your sediment looks like oxidised fina. BTW, there is no binder/glue in fina pellets, just a tad of methylcellulose.

Yep. Methyl-cellulose is just an organic fibre.

Bake it at about 250F.

The Methyl-cellulose will stick to the bottom of the vial. Then you can filter out the Fina to another clean vial using a .22 or .45 micron filter.

Agree with Fonz - I also typically let mine settle in a cool dark place for about 1 week, and by that point all the remaining sediment is usually stuck to the bottom of the vial, then I filter it into a new vial.

PS: I'm in no rush so a week doesn't bother me, 24hrs is probably sufficient though.

dont even think about starting the process with a .22 though. make sure youve got a few .45's handy-looks like theres going to be some clogging, even if you let it settle and draw out the rest.
