Glass or stainless would make me more comfortable, especially if that’s what it was extracted into. Materials compatibility is important.
I assume that is unpurged?
Looks sufficient.
I don’t see that screen staying put anywhere but there, where it reduces your loading capacity…but I haven’t tried it & @Fungnificent says they have so
A heat gun can help with forming something to a specific shape, if the model of strainer one has doesn’t come with sufficient top-ring mass to just cut down to size
Yes, sir, I agree with you. I didn’t extract it directly into plastic. Since I didn’t have a second jar, I fit some oil into this one.
It’s not fully purged. It was extracted with butane (Open Loop), then was purged with a hot water bath for a long time**(near 48hrs keept the oil around 40-60c). After that, it was transferred to jars.Also, I extracted it about 30 days ago, so some butane should have evaporated by now.
ps**: My vacuum pump stopped working so i made to purge / keep them like this until now.
@YPSIOIL Hey Ser, Could you please confirm if I can use a mixture of 70% Butane and 30% Pentane to nucleate crude oil? Will the butane be helpful, or will it evaporate and its useless at all?
youre going to need to do some pentane washes and re-x’s to clean that stuff up. i played with similar quality extract to see if i could clean it up. after this stage i dissolved everything in warm pentane, crashed out as much as i could, filtered out the gross stuff, added more pentane and repeated the cycle
also you literally answer your own question here
Also my second question is which filter press bag is the best option for this method ?
5 - 15 - 25 micron
ps: ( i study alot in the forum for this method everyone is using 25 micron Bag, but i could not find an answer if 5 , or 15 micron can be a better option because you saw everyone uses 25 lol )
