I use wbs with no corn rins the hell out of it, skim out the floaters then add 10%-20% popcorn. I find popcorn helps to break up the wbs it allso taks longer to hydrate so it will pick up any excess moisture during PCing. Then soak for no less than 24 hours, rinse one more time, add a small amount of gypsum, simmer for 10 mins and lay out to dry. Since I started adding popcorn iv had no problems with sticky grains or wet spot.

rbalzer said: Good news all. I tried the boiling it for not long at all and I really like how it came out. Didn't even try picking out much of the corn yet.
But yeah, not clumpy at allll. And I put the gypsum in only for the simmer since I forgot it during the soak. Maybe that helped??
Awesome and congrats man . I dont know about the gypsum myself yet so I cant comment but glad you got one more step down .

I just realized something. I think my string of bad luck a few months ago, when everything I did contaminated. I think it may have been because my jars only had polyfil filters. And I inoculated right through them
Soon as my self healing injection ports and SFD's get here maybe my rates will improve 
Now all I need is to dial in my bulk substrate better, and get some decent isolates made. I dunno if I'm repeating myself from earlier in the thread, but listing things like this helps me.

iso's r the jim jam! have u tried using poly as filter, but making an RTV hole? I say SFD all the way if u already ordered them, but poly works well for many ppl with an additional small hole filled with RTV silicone.

just mod the polyfill in instead of SFD (or use this when u get the SFD)
I wanna link u to a frank jar prep page as well, but can't find one. looking at his WBS prep page though, the jar lids look like TL's, but with the one piece plastic instead of 2 part metal ring. hope this helps!
