Hey guys.
So I'm doing my first conversion with fina H. I dissolved the pellets, mixed in the oil, ran it through a coffee filter, all without any trouble. Sweet!
When I put the Whatman filter on, however, I started to have trouble. After a few minutes, I couldn't get anything to come out of the pin and into the vial no matter how hard I pushed on the plunger. I didn't want to blow the filter, so I changed it out and thngs went smoothly for a while, but then I had the same problem. this time I continued pushing, however.
That was a mistake. The filter blew and about 3-4 ML went flying. Some of it actually went in my eye and burned like a sum-bitch for a while.
Anyway, is there a chance that the filters just got clogged? I realize that it is a slow process and I was being fairly patient with it. Any advice is appreciated.
