Distillate too thick wont go into beaker help!

Thats fuckin brilliant

Yea I gotta agree with not using the paddle bit when stir plates are so cheap. If you’re going to use that you may as well get a paint mixing paddle but it’s only a matter of time until you spin the beaker/jar right out of your hands or off the table and it smashes… If you’re at the scale now or have bread for it, definitely get a homogenizer, that’s ultimately the goal for mixing. But if you can’t swing that just yet, you can get a pretty nice stir plate for a couple hundred bucks. That said, If you insist on the paddle bit, I’d use a grinding wheel to lop that thing off, maybe a dremel. Even a small hack saw would do fine. Make sure you get the burrs if you go that route.

I like it! Another thought @replxce @RoseAlchemist @qma

~ Maybe glass beads - $29.95 for 8lbs cheaper than stainless & sterile
~alternate - microwave some uncooked rice for 60 seconds - then put in crockpot to maintain temp (not sterile but available everywhere when you just have to have it today)
