    fina turned cloudy

    I made some great looking fina last week. It was a clear golden color, just perfect. Today, I take it out of my closet and it's all cloudy! What happened? Is it still ok to use?

    Every batch I have made has done the same thing. If you pop it back in the oven and heat it up it will turn nice and clear again, but after a week or so it will become cloudy like before. Its fine, nothing to worry about.

    So is it Necessary to cook it again, or is it fine to inject cloudy as is?

    its fine to inject as is, no need to bake (actually your better off not baking again).

    the reason it turns cloudy is the tren acetate is precipitating out of the oil..this can be due to temp changes or pressure changes.. the oil is super saturated, because of the BA and the slightest change will cause it to crash...nothing to worry about just shoot it

    if you see long strands in it thats bacteria and worry time
    if in doubt you can always refilter and bake if desired

    I agree with whosdaman. If you heat it again and again you run the risk of over baking it and burning up some of the fina. Its fine as is, look at my avatar the one of the left I used heat and it was cloudy. It works fine

    Thanks guys, mine looks like your first one, but not as cloudy and brown. I'm starting tomorrow so we'll see how it goes.
