    Heating prop before injection

    I got some homeade prop which is hard to draw and shoot. I heard you can heat it to make it a bit thinner. I've heard about 10 sec in the microwave vented. Should i be worried about it being too hot to inject. Thanks

    what are you using to draw with.......i had problems drawing with a 22 so i moved to a 20 and still shot with a 25, it was slow but it shot relatively e-z. I dont know about the whole microwave thing either, set it in a pan of hot water to be safe

    The tiny amount of metal doesnt matter in the microwave. I nuked it a bit while making it. I'll use hot water but i know a lot of people swear by microwaving.

    i guess mom telling me all those years "no metal whatsover in the microwave or it will expolode" certainly had an impact on me for life.

    Don't use the microwave...use hot/warm water. Why risk damaging the gear with the microwave...unless you're trying to get some gamma rays like the Hulk.

    i heat up a coffee cup of water for about a minute in the microwave, and then drop in the vial for about 20-30 seconds w/o vent. pan, pot, cup it's all the same, though i agree, the vial itself shouldn't be nuked.
