Ok folks i have taken pics to explain most of what i did for this run....i have a 9 bag set but dont have a bucket that will fit them all sadly so i only used the 25, 73, 90, 160 & 220
As stated in the title i will be using my Bubblenow machine (which i love, makes things easier and quicker).
The trim i have is dry and had been stored in the freezer.....i am not sure how much i used but it was not a lot.
I put the trim and some ice onto the Bubblenow bag
Then i zipped her up and added ice and water to the Bubblenow machine
I turned her on for 3 minutes
Then emptied her into the bucket with alll the bags in.
After when opened it looked like this
1st out is 220 which has some contaminants which get thrown away and then as with all bags it is cleaned immediatly after being pulled.
160 next which pulled the least of this run
I use a plate to pull the bag tight over and then scrape off the bubble with ease.
I then remove some of the moisture using the pressng screen
till its looking like this
Next i break the bubble up into small pieces to dry on some cardboard
Out next was the best yielding grade of this run the 90.
the above is easily broken up to dry using a card to flake it off as pictured below
73 now and as always she is beautiful.
from left to right 160, 90 & 73.
Lastly the 25
All 4 grades before drying
And now for some dry shots starting with 160
90
73
25
And lastly a little shot of some pressed 90.
More pics to come.
Peace
