I've looked at the offerings on Best Value Vac's website and I can't seem to find any reason to purchase from them over these options from Amazon. Besides the reputability of the selling party on Amazon being questionable compared to BVV is there any product descriptions differences that would indicate these are the wrong items to use to polish BHO?

GW - quick question on using fullers earth/bentonite clay. How exactly do you go about this?

I basically just made a cake of fullers in my buchner funnel, but it basically turned rock solid and was very hard to filter through. Do I need to mix it in before hand? Should the solution be warm/cold? Let me know when you get a chance.

Thanks.

Celite 545 is a filter media that people make a cake of to filter carbon becsuse it is super fine. My whatman 4-7u filter paper won't stop it.

In a summit research video about winterizing for activated carbon when he talked ammount he mentioned 10% of the weight of wax plus like 2% granular and he mentioned heat was helpful and at one point whilet talking he mentioned 180 degrees. Of the two times I did it when I put a mason jar of grain bin a pot of water that was just boiling and let it heat it came out lighter than when I did room temp. I've found nothing on Fuller's earth ratio mj specific yet but I planned to try the same amount as carbon as a starting point. My first attempts I used about 1:2 or 2:1 ratio so way too much but luckily it's cheap. Summit has some filter media I think its the same as 545 just privately branded but I'm not positive.
