Reheating gear

[testoboy77]

If you are unsure about the quality of your ugl gear, can rehating it for 120celcsius for about 2 hours sterelize it?

120C seems quite a bit extreme. Any living organism in your gear should be killed at 180F for about 5 minutes

[testoboy77]

or is it better to buy a filter and filter it into a new sterilized vial? 180f, thats about 82 celcius!

Back when I had to resort to this, I used 215F for 45 minutes. Worked like a charm.

What you have in mind is overkill just for sterilization.

Ok, so 100 celcsius for 45 min? Does the glass break og the rubber seal take any damage? Should I leave a needle in for venting purposes? Or is filtering, like I asked previous a better option?

It won't explode if you have a vent. I used an 18g needle to vent. Rubber seal was fine.

But, will some of the gear vaporise during the process? And how about the filtering?

[HawaiianPride.]

You can filter if you want. I've never tried it.

Your gear will be fine.

Is there a specific reason as to why you need to re-sterilize?

[testoboy77]

Just wondering and just to be sure when trying a brand new product of some gear produced UGL domestic. I would HATE my self if abcess would be the case :O Thanks for swift replys dude! So in your opinion, sterilizing with heat does the trick and not too much is vaporised?

NP

None is vaporized.
