Frozen Fina!!

[Rabduce]

i keep my fina in my fridge and i turned the temp down to low and my fina partially froze. Does anyone know if it is still effective? I would think so because you are suppose to keep the pellets refridgerated and freezing stuff usually preserves it. Just thought i'd get a second opinion if it is still going to be effective if i take it??

[dive_kid]

well if it gets frozen solid ya might be f---ed but I think you are ok.
also fina does not need to go in the fridge. just cool and dark

[Rabduce]

no i didn't get frozen solid just a few little ice crystals floating around...still smells nice and looks great after sittin out for a few minutes...i just like to keep it in my fridge for the hell of it

Lets see if I can explain this to you.. Im not very good with english..

now when your gear has been frozen maybe if you got bad luck the crystals will 'split' from the oil and you will have trouble mixing them together.
In that case you have to do like this:

Put your owen at 120 degrees Celcius. Put the smallest pin you got thrue the rubber top.to eleminate (?) pressure in the vial. Put it in the middle of the owen for about an (1 h) hour.

did I make myself understood??

Good luck with your fina.

it didn't exactly freeze solid just some ice crystals but after a few min of letting it sit out it looked just like right after i made it

[LILLEN]

Ok thats good.

[Rabduce]

Ok thats good.

so my gear should be ok??

[LILLEN]

yes It should be allright.

[LILLEN]

mine got frozen during dilivery (with mail in the winter) And that was real frozen and it went OK.

Those aren't ice crystals. You've caused it to crash by bringing the temp too low. The tren has effectivly seperated from the oil. It's easy to fix, though, just put it in hot water until it goes back into solution.

that was what I meant... And if hot water doesn't work (it did not for me) then you need to put it in the owen.

yeah you should be alirght, but i wouldnt' stick it in the oven and certanily not the microwave, just set it in a dish of hot water, or let it thaw out on its own, and don't put it in the freezer, ever
