Latest tests

Post by JohnFP »

Although the lab is not up yet I did some tests with just gelatin and water (no Am Di). I used my midget hotplate/stirrer and the vacuum pump filter.

Findings:
The midget must have a small short in it because if it moved it it would blow the GFI circuit on the outlet (I was in the kitchen). So I need to open her up and check it out. Other then that it works great. The stirrer mixes very well and the stirring speed is nicely controllable. I also got the temperature to remain between 110 and 115 degrees F. I tested for about an hour and a half.

The vacuum pump filter works great with a doubled coffee filter but when I tried to use the filters that came with it, I got nothing but a vacuum then splaaaat... holes in the filter and a sudden gush of emulsion into the flask. The coffee filters let the emulsion flow nicely.

Hope to shoot this weekend!

Peace!
