I'm guessing you're doing some filtering by hand?
I did the same thing in the summer, filtered 150mL of Test P by hand with .45 Whatman's and 3mL syringes. Sucked ass big time. Next time I make a batch of homemade goodies I'm buying a pump and filter.

Didn't matter for mine ST, I used 18's and it still sucked. I warmed the oil up, no difference.
Glad that's over till sometime next year. :D

Ya i did my last one with a 18 gauge and it took 5 minutes less time but my hand was sore.The Pump would be best as you said just a little more $ for it.

My friend used a .22 whatman and a 20 gauge with a 10 ml tube.
He ended up with about 50 mls using a 100 mg/ml recipe w/ 3 carts.
He will likely stick it in the oven at 250 for an 45 minutes and may even filter it again as despite the BA, the BB and the filter he's a little nervous about the safety of sticking this in him.

Tell him BB just a solvent. It's not there for purifying the mixture, but making sure that it all dissolves. BA is the sterilizing agent. ;)

My friend also discovered BB does a pretty good job of eating plastic.
