Hey guys, so two quick questions.
First, I tried to use a hand pump as recommended and the fucking thing wouldn't hold pressure even with tape around all seals and pressure put on top of the bottle top filter. After nothing worked I resorted to a 1.8 cfm OEM vacuum pump. https://www.amazon.com/1-8-Single-Stage-Vacuum-Pump/dp/B01BW39BZS this model specifically.
The result was that the plastic bottle top filter (I used a glass media bottle) cracked. Is there a way to safely use this vacuum pump or any recommendations? The instructions say to run pump until absolute vacuum is achieved and then leave it so I pulsed it trying to not damage the filter but I must have let it run too long.
Second, when mixed my test prop was clear. Post filtration it was cloudy similar to this http://imgur.com/a/acdrG (stolen from another post) Recipe was 2% ba, 18% bb with MCT oil and test prop @100mg/ml. Any ideas on what happened? I'm assuming it was something to do with the filter since it changed after coming out. I used a 500ml .2 pore pvdf membrane.
Any ideas?
