Okay, a little pictorial on how to make ISO-WAX.
The first things you will need are...
are more expensive. Your choice.
Let's go...
First of all make sure you have good ventilation in the room you're making the
ISO in..it is flammable and produces fumes. I'm doing this in my garage,
with exhaust fans running.
I keep my bottle/s of rubbing alcohol in the freezer, along with the bud I'm
using, already "broken up" and in a mason jar/s for 24hrs.
The 2 liter pop bottle will have to be emptied and cleaned. Cut the top off the
2 liter bottle leaving enough of the top to make a funnel to fit a coffee filter
in. The bottom will be used for the mesh filter (it fits perfectly)
Cake pan...filters...mesh filter...mason jars...2 liter pop bottle w/top cut off...........
1/4oz bud frozen in mason jar for 24hrs...91% Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)
Fill jar to top off MJ put lid on and shake for 30 seconds...Pour mix through mesh filter into pop bottle...
You may need to tilt and push aside MJ to help drain (over the pop bottle...unlike this pic )
Not so good looking ...yet...we have to wash it Place the top of the pop bottle, now your funnel in the mason jar and put a coffee filter in it, now pour what's in the bottom into the filter top
In one pass (wash) I have the color I want. Sometimes if I use "good" trim it takes 2 passes to get the color.
Then just pour into cake pan and put fan blowing directly on it, to help dissipate the fumes, and to help evaporate the liquid.
Which will apparently be in the second post...I can only add 10 files to a post
The first things you will need are...
- 91% Isopropal rubbing alcohol...(keep in freezer)
- Mesh coffee filter
- Paper Coffee filters...some say use brown unbleached rather than bleached
are more expensive. Your choice.
- 2 liter bottle of pop
- 1 Mason jar
- @ least a quarter oz of bud "broken up"..."NOT GROUND UP"...(1/4oz=1+grams)
- 9" x 13" glass Pyrex cake pan
- 6" clip on desk fan...make sure it's dust free as it will be blowing on the
