Vermiculite Glass on Cakes PIC
    #19401591 - 01/10/14 11:11 PM (10 years, 20 days ago)

I started using a new kind of Vermiculite and been noticing my cakes have been expelling like glass volcano pieces its weird after I dunk em I pick these shards off. This ever happen to anyone, its coarse verm havent had any problems yet just lots of glass. I'm not gonna say the vendor cause they rock but wheres a good spot to get verm online they only got that miracle grow stuff by me.

It's just uncolonized pieces.  You're supposed to use fine verm.

I always have problems with fine verm and with all this back n forth about the grade I'm glad you chimed in RR. Everyone says use coarse verm since it holds water better and save the fine verm for dunking n rolling type stuff. Coarse verm can be can ground fine right or not cause thats what I'm about to do with all this? Thanks

I have noticed this some, but not large pieces like that.  Occasionally little fine specks that rinse right off with water.  I would try a diff kind.

Yea this starting happening with this new verm I use and as u see the cake colonizes fine and expells the pieces of verm glass all over so I gotta pick it off with a knife lol. IDK I'm gonna try grinding what I have an using fine grade in my formula just noticed it produces feather lite cakes, gotta adjust the water level as the grade I have works good, the fine stuff becomes all sloppy.
