I am not sure if this common knowledge or not. I didn't know it but it is much easier to filter through a smaller syringe than a big one. I used a 60ml syringe to do the first 60mls of my prop and it took about 4 hours and my hands were painful. but then BB12 told me to use a 5ml syringe and the remaining 30 mls only took about 20 minutes. much easier. Hopefully it saves everybody some time. :)

be careful doing that. a smaller barrel will create more pressure and increase the chances of rupturing the filter.
Did you keep the solution pretty warm while filtering? -
Nice. I never considered that.Comment

actually I had to use a lot less pressure with the smaller syringe. It had been so long since I filtered anything (fina being the last thing) that i didn't remember how easy it was to do with the small syringe. Its funny because the two filterings I did with the 60ml syringe, the oil was superheated and it was a bitch. with the 6 5ml filterings I did the solution was at room temp and was very easy.Originally posted by bluedevil

yes and my thumbs thank me for it. they are actually raw from the amount of pressure I had to put on the big syringe. some day I will look back on this and laugh. ;)Originally posted by candle25

a smaller barrel will require you do use less force but the pressure coming out is higher.Comment

More pressure with a smaller surface area of exit, this is why brake lines are so thin (3/16" etc)Comment

I use a 25ml syringe.Comment
