Damn Whatman Filter!

Everytime i make a batch of Fina, the filter gets clogges almost by the time I am done with 20ml. I wait for the fina binders to settle to the bottom and i am always sure to avoid sucking them up when i get towards the bottom. Any suggestions fina kit veterans?

Make sure the oil is still very warm when you go to filter it or else its impossible. Hope that helps

I had a hell of a time filtering last time. I used a shit load of filters when I made my last batch. I don't know if it was the kit or what because I never used more than 1 while using A's kits. Thank god he is back.

should i pour the entire mixture of oil and BA with fina into a funnel lined with a coffee filter or should I draw up most of the solution and when i get to the bottom with binders, then pour the rest into the funnel. I hope i was clear.

I didnt have trouble, must use the coffee filter. While the mix is still warm

Agreed, I still use a coffee filter EVERYTIME i make a batch.

Sure it adds a few hours to the process but why put yourself through all the B.S.

Take your time and push it slow through the watman filter and you will have no problems.

agreed 100%, the last time i didn't use coffee filter i had watman problems, use the coffee filter, makes a finer looking product anyways, good luck
