Def noticable at room temp
Let’s see if it melts
Guess we don’t need anyone to find out
If it goes clear then it melts… Time will tell
Straight silica gel w pure gemclear
So far looks a lot like the “fats” I thought I pulled. If it goes clear then probably so
It will fall to the bottom and form a white layer
Fingers crossed!
Thought it in the freezer to simulate temps also
Explain… I’ll do whatever test we need
I mean it will but not likely at the temps its at and at higher temps that would be long after the etho purges. Lots of SOPs are pushing warm etho solution over si cakes…
It doesnt matter, but i believe silica swell when cold, but i cold be wrong
I did the same tests with tane and all the common powders a long time ago
@mr_pickles says he did it all with butane. I would imagine he wouldnt be able to filter out the fats if he used butane to dilute the slab.
Well the only thing the really matters is if it goes clear…if it goes clear it’ll throw monkey wrench in my theory
If it doesn’t go clear , then all u have to do is ethanol test, warm it up, if goes clear u got fats . If not powders
Butane will let fats drop when diluted enough
At room temp in a cup?
Yep it’s just dropping to bottom w heat
So if it never melts …an ethanol test, add heat…if ur cloudy falls to bottom you got powders
If it melts…the slow injection speeds along w saturating material we are grabbing fats
Just my opinion maybe we can get science behind it
At 150f it’s just settled to bottom
no, it shoulden’t.
hydrofluoric acid or hot Potassium hydroxide would dissolve it.
Do me a favor same test only tap water
I had an isseu of silica in a slab
But I have a0.2 um cartridge inline
Yet still silica I wonder is it dissolves in water
Ok same test tap water…I’m on it
Any certain amounts
Don t know teaspoon to the glass
Cold or hot tap water…room temp?
Guess room for starters
Very cool of to to do this to set ppls mind at ease
