Fina Kit Help * Did i mess it up???

[mikes20]

I got a question for you hopefully you can answer. I think I may have messed up my conversion. I dissolved the pellets in the BA and after 3 days it still was not dissolving so I heated it up in a hot water bath. The solution dissolved fully but it turned into a white paste at room temperature. Did I evaporate out all the BA. I heated it back up and it liquefied so I mixed it with some of the oil and let sit over night but in the morning the solids had crystallized in the oil and it didn’t look like it mixed with the oil. Not the regular gunk looking stuff but solid crystals lining the bottom and side of the bottle like a geode with loose oil floating on top. Is it not dissolving? Should I get more BA to add or did I mess it up? Please help? Thanks!

I have made numerous kits and I have never heated the pellets in the dissolving solution but they also never took that long to dissolve...

Update: since I have heated again to liquify and added to all the oil and it is staying dissolved but instead of the gunk settling on the bottom it’s a cloud floating of what looks like glimmery crystals. Is this my Fina? How do I fix this??? Thanks

What did you add to it?
1 cart of fina you should have 4 grams powder
6.8 ml bb
1.2ml ba
that's what you shoudl be dissolvig with

i added the pellets to the "magic solution" from the kit. But when i heated it it seemed to evaporate out? Basically it doesn't look like it is staying in solution unless heated. Should i add more "magic solution" or anything else?

+1 Do this. Heat and swirl if possible till pretty much dissolved. Then let sit to cool. You are not having enough solution to allow settling. After it settles you'll have what you need to draw out to get ready to filter.
Then you'll need to try and get the remaining product from the trash at the bottom. After this filter and at the end run 2ml. of oil through filter to retrieve more product left in the filter.
Nextime use EO and Ba to dissolve. It will be much much easier.

When i heat to dissolve it stays dissolved until it cools. I've made it many times before and the solids when cool don't look like the normal gunk, it looks like crystally like sugar water where water has evaporated. Will it continue to come out of solution if i don't add more "magic solution", BA, BB, EO etc.??

You need to let settle for no less than 24 hours so it will compact better at the bottom leaving you more liquid to draw out.

i've let it sit for 2+ days and it doesn't compact, it's like a crystally cloud, that is my question as to why it is like this?

what kind of kit did yoiu use? does it tell you what you have int he kit?
if you figure that out we can add more to dissolve and then just have to add extra oil and dilluttte so its nto as painful
