Someone did give me an idea on what to do to fix this issue but maybe someone else has had this situation happen. I need to remove all the glass from here with minimal loss because I need the money from this as it’s my last resort from someone robbing me of over $8,000 worth of cash / product. It’s a shit situation because this is all he left me with to make ends meet. I’ve been posting a lot on here about my situation for the past month but simply because I need guidance and I don’t take advantage of anyone who tries to help and appreciate anyone who helps me.
I feel like I’m at a stoplight and you’re telling me new stories daily but I never have any change
Soak the entire mess in warm Ethanol then strain that with a T-shirt / cotton cloth and start from there. Will need to be filtered further with low micron filters but that’s a start
Step 1: place the whole dish over a pot of water and put it on to boil
Step 2: once disty is nice and hot and flowing use a metal mesh strainer to strain the big pieces of glass out. A heat gun will definitely help you here
Step 3: pour into another jar. The glass will sink to the bottom. If you are careful, you should be able to decant most of the oil from the top without disturbing the glass on the bottom if it is hot enough.
This is where I would probably redistill the oil to ensure no glass remains, but you gotta piss with the cock you’ve got. Just don’t put out product that will hurt people with residual glass. Not worth any amount of money imo.
Mesh kitchen strainer. Another mixing bowl. Kitchen oven 200° & some patience
Should drip through and remove the bulk of your mess from there. Idk id use a buchner if you end up scoring 1
Note: heating in the presence of O2 isn’t going to do any favors for the color of your product, and if there are already terps in there the taste will suffer as well.
Melting in a closed jar and decanting. Then running the last bit through the strainer with a heat gun would be how I’d attack this at home.
In lab I’d stick a sintered disk in the middle of one of our decarb vessels (6” jacketed spools) and pull vac/nitrogen backfill a couple of times before heating.
Add some ethanol and filter it, then do a Buchner purify. If you still need to run thru short path , but the Buchner should clean it up. This is not a loss.
