Rotovap condensing column broke! Replacing cheap? Is any glassware "fixable"?

[cyclopath]

Just repeating this part because of how important it is…

@Alentia

you will need to fill condenser with small shipping poly balls otherwise condenser will fall out and than game over.

For those of you who have never unpacked a brand new rotovap…

@greenbuggy

If you’re buying new, the glass will come internally packed with sawdust. If you don’t have a good sized air compressor to blow the sawdust out, make friends with someone who does. Wear a respirator doing this lord only knows what kind of toxic shit is in that sawdust.
