I see, how do u think the end product looked? That pic was after 3 hours in the vac, it basically stopped reacting to the vac n I kept getting it to 29.6hg n it wouldn't do anything any more, I wanted it to get harder should I put I back in?

So did my third test run, first with my vac. I did 8oz of pure trim n only trim, trim is a few weeks old not moist. My extractor fits 90 grams but only put 56 n used two cans per run(1can power5 per oz) n only got 8g of wax I can't see where I'm going wrong, I blasted on to Pyrex dish in warm...

But when it cools, will it just go back to being hard?

So I did a few trial runs before my pump gets here n I can purge it correctly. But so far I'm having two problems. The first is as I'm blasting into dish (into Pyrex dish only not in water or griddle) it comes out a nice yellow/golden color but when I'm scraping it turns a lot darker. The second...

Ok that makes sense, I'm looking at this bel-art scienceware desiccator vacuum chamber, n I was wondering if I could put a hot plate inside of it while I'm purging. How hot do u have the hot plate inside the chamber?

so just purchased a 2.5 CFM vacuum pum, now im going to buy a desiccator but not sure what kind or which, ive heard of some imploding. i want 3 gallon, i seen a pyrex one just wondering what would be best?

youre right. so i did a couple test runs yestrday n purged it in the oven. today im gonna try purging it as im blasting it on to the pyrex since i have an oven to warm up a turkeyim thinking keeping it at 150 as im blasting, any tips?

i see, im leaning toward a stainless steel extractor since im sure i will be doing a lot of runs bc of all the trim i have. i also heard of purging by placing grow lamps under the plate. anyone ever tried that?

how much would one expect to yield from 15-25 Ps of trim? and what extractor would be best since its gonna be a lot of work?
