Filtering Made Easy

[BigRonWannabee]

The following has been done before, I just dont know why I havent thought of this earlier.

Buy a cheap caulk gun, and find a fender washer to epoxy into the end of the gun:

Screw on the filter and go nuts:

if you wanted it hands free run a piece tubing from the filter into a collection clean flask/vial. you could also use a bigger syringe for less refills.

were you using solidworks?

Good points, we ran outa 20's - id HIGHLY recommend something bigger than 10's. Just an example for the photo op.

with that set up 60s would work. it would be slower but hands free means you could look at porn while it filters.

Doug, are you not making big enough batches to use bottle top filters or stericups? Or is this just for guys doing small conversions?

Just curious.

Also guys..

Be sure to leave appox. 1/3 of the syringe empty so that you have air to compress. That will keep the flow going much longer than constantly pumping the handle to move the oil. Be careful to not blow out the filters also. I have been using this method for a little while and LOVE it.

JC, i forgot to mention that. If you leave a good amount of air in there you wont need to apply contant pressure, half the work is done by the air trying to expand.

rjh, yes Im not doing large enough batches of one single hormone to justify buying stericups. I like to experiment with 5g here, 10g there. Plus I have a million whatmans and with this method I can use them WAY easier than hand filtering.
