dry......if it's still too liquidy

dry......if it's still too liquidy after 5 minutes, then replace on the heat for a few more minutes and repeat.. if you're too afraid of hurting the honey, then just use the blow dryer to dry the rest of the way..........well folks, all I can do to help you, is answer questions, take some pictures, and MAKE THE VIDEO..... wonder if I should charge?....doubt it..... knowledge is free.......

STEP #5 - Purification

METHOD #1

Washing is not necessarily a needed step, and is provided just a misc. information.

By toast, Inspired by Replies from Wehh, spitball (this whole thing is pretty much his idea in my words), and Worlock

Materials - Step #5 - Method #1
acetone
funnel
acetone safe container


Find a container that is made of an acetone safe material (glass, some plastics), this will be your "used acetone collector". Now find a funnel as big as the opening of this container. Place the funnel so it rests in the opening, and place a coffee filter or two in the top of the funnel. On this filter, place your "substance to be purified." The acetone for this procedure should be pre-chilled, just put it in the freezer for awhile. Putting it in the freezer for too long could cause condensation (thanks spitball). Pour the cold acetone over the "substance to be purified" and watch as it gets whiter and whiter! :0) (Note: "If you're not using lab grade acetone, you're going to lose more of the product any ways, so there's really no reason to cool it, although in small quantities it'll be a noticable loss." - spitball)

METHOD #2

Materials - Step #5 - Method #2
acetone
buchner funnel
filter paper (coffee filter)
vacuum source
tubing
filter flask
one hole stopper


I feel much explanation for this method is not needed, seeing as how purification may not even be a necessary step in the push/pull method (see Step #4). However, it must be clarified that the "substance to be purified" is mixed with acetone in a seperate flask, then poured through the funnel, with the vacuum on. The vacuum removes the acetone and the impurities, with minimal loss of product (thanks Worlock).
