If I'm filtering roughly 250 ml at a time through the filter paper is this fine or should I be changing out the paper vs pouring all 250 ml through one ? Thank you guys in advance for any further input & I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving...

ive read people doing it both ways, shaking it up and mixing it, and also pouring it straight with the solution and waxes separated.

I would also like to know what is the best method.

Don't shake

Shaking-->smaller wax pieces-->more surface area-->wax warms and redissolves faster into solution when pouring into the buchner

Wouldn't hurt to rig up a di/ipa cold jacket around the buchner if you're not removing the amount of waxes you expect

Don't mix it up. Change out the filter when it blinds.

I winterized a few batches, but it's not becoming stable at all, it's all gooey and sticky still, anyone know why? I've winterized some really poopy stuff and it's become stable shatter

Carboxylic acids are hard and brittle at ambient temperatures, and can be looser from retained solvent, high mono and sesquiterpene levels, and decarboxylation.

[gliders420]

So material can be too old to be stable, even if winterized?

I may be wrong, but aren't the two causes of decarboxylation heat or age?

Yes, naterial decarboxylates naturally with drying and age.

It also loses monoterpenes, which are alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, esters and carboxylic acids themselves.

outdoors has lots more wax then indoors ive found.. so outdoors gets dewaxed 99% of the time.. compared to indoors for me..

woah! that's a gem of information right there. First time hearing about this and it makes a lot of sense too. Thanks for the info JO Your method for determining whether it is worth it to use a 2nd solvent is very helpful.
