I just poured back the solution into the jar I just cleaned and it literally separated again?!

I have seen this happen when water had been introduced into the mixture - by chance did this happen? When you said up above you had 1.5g of reclaim from a rig, just wondering, what rig are you referring to?Well I warmed up the solution and filtered it with a coffee filter...prettyyyyy sure that's all the reclaim caught in the coffee filter so safe to say this epically FAILED. Cleaned the jars and such but now it's obvious the reclaim was separating from the ethanol.... soooo...
How do you do this? Links perhaps? I have some so-so oil I can try again on perhaps..
Gotcha. You really don't need to air dry to reduce the ethanol, what you want to do is use a double boiler method to boil off the alcohol.I wasn't boiling off the ethanol, I was at first having it air dry no fan assist.I too used a wide mouth mason jar.
It's okay I hate this phone lol. The reclaim is always in the solution and it did completely dissolve because one of the times I filtered, it came out as a clean coffee filter. I basically dissolved the reclaim as if I was winterizing BHO.I'm sorry to say that I can't see your pictures very well before the last couple, so can't tell if the reclaim is ever in solution with the ethanol. Did it ever dissolve completely?
Yes sir! That's why I'm getting so confused! I literally had 2 oz of shine to ~1.5g of reclaim. So I figured I had plenty of shine compared everyone saying 2:1 or 3:1 ratio. It was just separating sitting in the solution. Then I would filter it thinking it was bs particles and within moments the solution had re-separated.Do I understand that the reclaim is separating from the alcohol, simply by filtering it?
I don't winterize but when I read up on it they suggested that you use a breathable cover during the air evaporation process. Water can get introduced to the alcohol from the condensation on the glass jar being in the freezer.I don't think water introduced :-/ I had the lid on the whole time. By rig I mean oil rig, piece I use to smoke my concentrates.
