When I bake it how long should I allow the vial to sit before I rebake i for the next time. Also the proper temperature is 250 correct? Lastly since I am baking it is using a filter necessary or can filtering be used instead of baking.
I NEVER said to bake it. I said autoclave (pressure cook) which is much safer, since you can't exceed 252 F. Ovens are unreliable.
Ideally, you should draw up all the packets (of the same type) into a 60ml syringe, then use a caulk gun to filter the oil into the vial with a .22um syringe filter. If you do this, you could just let it sit for a week so that the BA kills anything that makes it through without worrying about heat-sterilizing.
