I've given the sifter a spin after a few teething issues it's up and running.

I'm happy with that but I was maybe a bit quick to press it, I've since learned that I can clean it up with static, this I'm not too concerned about its more the stuff below i want to clean.

I've run the same material for 2.5/3 hrs cleaning every 30 mins...
The top piece was the 1st 3-4 minutes.

Has anyone tried static separation, checking with a loupe there's plenty resin in the last sample that's spun for hours?

What is static separation?

Can you point to a guide or describe how you're doing it? Thanks!

Theres a good one on icmag if you google it mate

What is static separation?

Basically using static charge like say wand that attracts the plant matter when u pass it over u spread your resin thin and out and it leaves you with more resin heads less contaminants ie green stuff etc more u work it cos it doesnt lift resin heads only plant so its a way to seperate it more

Static is difficult to hold onto in our humidity, I've been thinking about a electric model.

How difficult can it be to create a static field?

@matakumbaPro
The resin or leaf matter gets attracted to a positive static charge separating the resin from leaf matter.

Definitely looks more effective then rubbing a balloon on your shirt lol

Dry sift 3rd tumble/grade.

The 3rd grade is still mostly resin I'm delighted with that, it's way cleaner than I imagined, i expected ±20-30% of leaf matter mixed in with it.

That's where I'd heard mumbletypeg i thought maybe you picked it up from family guy that's all.

mega pics @Star Dog what did you use scope wise to get those pics please ?

 

[Star Dog]

Thanks mate, it's a compound microscope made by Bresser Germany, I've just picked up a camera for it hence the new pics


Cheers buddy

Nice, I have an old Olympus I use.. does your camera fit the scope?

 

[Star Dog]

Olympus make some of the best microscopes available I'd expect it to be very good regardless of its age.

The camera fits onto the eye piece of the microscope.

Oh wow that would be handy!
I also have just a cheap digital one I use for checking trich’s on the plant, handy things to have..

Had first decent snowfall in years, was putting my bin out this morning , ended up having a full on snowball fight with the bloke across the road, we haven’t even spoke before , we both went at it like 12yr old boys in the play ground , can’t beat a wake and bake snow ball fight
