Muscles can't stop this..
This will take two posts. More pics on the way.
Read these instructions and then associate them with the pics.
1st you want to take your foil and put thermo half way across it as shown, then roll the foil like rolling a joint a bit, then fold the top over the thermo and roll it a bit more, tear off some and don't roll too thick. Now form that excess at tip of thermo (may have to pull thermo out a tad) and form a little cup, or trough, and set on your heating stir plate at medium or so heat. Put the thermo propped up at end on the EDGE of plate and push closer to center for faster heating and toward the edge for more slow heating and then consistant heating. Watch temp and when its close take the tip of a knife and drop a tad of powder onto the trough part of your foil (trying to get the powder to sit on the top of the round hump in that trough and not in the edges and not at the very tip of your trough as this is closer to the center of the heat and not as accurate) Pay close attention to your temp before you dump your powder on, if it is souring this will skew your results. When the temp is about 118 C (the beginning melt point of Pop) as you see, the prop just simply melts and is melted within 2 degree to 120 but this happens so fast I could not get all the pics in at this quickness. I could slow down the melt by having pulled it farther away from the center of heat but I have done this so many times that I don't do it that slow anymore..... time is money!!!
Hope this helps some of you bros out!!!
Sorry my stirplate is messy, this is the one I use for melt tests and I occasionally spill hormone on it and that shit stains!!! LOL
