BUMP

 

[CB38AC]

placed it in hot water...starting to be almost dissolved...will pour in oil then prefilter to get out oxidation...sound good....pre filter not with coffe filter but .88 filter

Yes, you need to warm/heat the solution to get the fina pellets to dissolve. Just be careful not to get it too hot. Add the oil after the pellets completely dissolve.

Also, don't worry about the oxidizing. Just filter, heat, and you are good to go.

why wont it go through the pre-filter?...put in anouther pin to even preasure but barey droping out at maximum effort

 

[TxLonghorn]

Hmmm, don't know. What size syringe are you using. If you are using a 20cc syringe, go to a 5cc syringe. The lower the volume syringe, the greater pressure that can be applied.

Also, pre-filtering is not totally necessary. I filter all my stuff at least twice, but if you get some binders and glue in your final mix, it won't really affect you at all.

18G...dont ned to do anything to filter right just screw in and stick on...i gace up am gonna leave in in the 20cc overnight i think

No, it does not matter what gauge needle, it's the syringe. A 20cc syringe cannot develop much power at all. You need a much smaller syringe, like a 3cc or a 5cc one in order to get the pressure high enough to force the solution through the filter.

Also, heat/warm the solution beforehand. It will allow the solution to pass through the filter easier.

so just get it all in the vial (gonna use other vials) and redraw with a 5cc?
