Yes and the pad did gain weight when soaked in butane, like the Oil Slick representative said. I will publish shortly, as soon as we finish testing it for the purposes that it was intended by the manufacturer.
i have only done 1 run so far but i made a big mess on my hands and a razor,a knife,and another longer razor.any tricks to the final scrape and whats the best thing to store in?i just have my 4-5 gram pile sitting on a piece of parchment for now.would be way cool to learn how to cut down on whipping and scraping
I go to harbor freight & buy a bunch of cheap small razors. I use vice grip pliers to grip the end of the side of the razor with more metal on it.
Only scrape small amounts at a time, use another razor to scrape the oil from the vice gripped razor than onto parchment. this may take several razor to razor scrapings.
I am able to get a 10 gram slab of shatter from the pyrex onto parchment without getting my hands sticky at all. If you make budder this is a much easier process.
Just store your oil in a folded piece of parchment. Glass oil dishes are nice but its much harder to get oil off glass than it is off parchment.
Please wear eye protection when using razor blades to scrape. They can and do break and catching one in the cornea is liable to hurt the bejesus out of your eye.
Off topic, but since we're also talking about scraping I was wondering. When single blade razors are made, there is some sort of oil coating on the outside. For the scrapers, do you remove this oil coating from the blade? If so, how? Thanks Farmers!
I also forgot to add, I am not blasting directly into the oil-slick (although I have before). I put a layer of unbleached parchment over it which makes scraping it easier.No.... I just use the oil slick pad to line the inside of the Pyrex dish. This helps by not only the distributing of heat, but also absorbing some of the heat. Thus creating more stable oil, instead of some bs sap...
Glad you liked the idea Graywolf =), I'm just glad you could reassure me that its safe lolFOAF published a thread on blasting into Teflon bags to eliminate scraping.
